How'd you spread the word at launch?

  http://www.ycombinator.com/announcingnews.html http://www.ycombinator.com/announcingnews.html The site was originally called Startup News. We changed the name and focus about 6 months later: http://www.ycombinator.com/hackernews.html http://www.ycombinator.com/hackernews.html

    Ha, wow, thanks for sharing. For some reasons, I thought hacker news happened before you guys started funding startups. Please feel free to share other documents from the early YC or HN.

    That's funny, it always felt to me like it was "Startup News" for a lot longer than 6 months. If I had to guess and couldn't look it up, I would have said 1-2 years. Interesting how powerful first impressions can be.
