We are. Hacker News is the top spot for getting news relevant to startups.
- vaksel 18y agowell we are more of a news aggregating service, need some original content. Need more stories to break on HN
- tonystubblebine 18y agoYou don't have to have the same form as something in order to replace it. I don't think the number of breaking stories has any effect on the quality of HN.
- jacquesm 18y agoIn fact, I think that more 'breaking' stories is going to have a negative effect.
- electromagnetic 18y agoAgreed, more emphasis on 'breaking stories' means that there'll be more fake 'breaking stories'. Look at tabloids, the more news they 'break' the better they sell and now everything is outright lies.
- rbanffy 18y agoI really don't think we need TC-like original content. That wouldn't be a step in the right direction.
- vaksel 18y agonot original content per se, but breaking of new stories. Before other sites. There's been a small amount of those before, but could always use more.
- ja2ke 18y agoI enjoy that there isn't a race to "scoop" other HN reader-contributors as it stands now. There are plenty of outlets who live or die on scoops, and there will continue to be.
- wheels 18y agoThat seems short sighted. Hacker News: - Doesn't have original content - Isn't that focused on startups anymore - Tends to focus on the nerdy extreme of the startup spectrum - Doesn't have nearly as broad an audience Sorry, I love HN, but let's not get carried away with ourselves.
