Why not post directly to the site so we can take a look and decide? Why the middle man? http://beta.friendfeed.com/ http://beta.friendfeed.com/

- EastSmith 18y agoWhy go to HN? Why the middle man?
- TweedHeads 18y agoHN is the aggregator, not the middle man, once an interesting story gets to the front page people in the community can start interesting debates. So linking to other aggregators is like linking from HN to digg or reddit, being TC another one of them. Good netiquette links directly to the source.
- josefresco 18y agoThe middle-man in this case is for discussion. I'm always curious as to what the HN community will say about a topic, and much less interested in what the TC community has to say (more so what Arrington and the crew says). In every debate there's a moderator or someone to 'get the ball rolling', in this case it's either the users of HN or the editors of TC.
