The connection is this - tomuse has been blogging for a while. Had a few hits here and there, but nothing major. He wrote an article about how bad the diggbar is, and we all agreed with it. Suddenly he has a hit on his hands, and decided to milk it for all it's worth. Take a look at his homepage - it's all about diggbar/frame spamming etc. He throws a 'Hey HNer, if you agree with me, then subscribe to me' banner up top and adds a thousand tags to his post, hoping people will link to his posts. He then figures if people hate the diggbar on HN, then other people must be feeling the same way and goes to town with pushing the links to his posts all over the web - from techcrunch to mashable to readwriteweb.........take a look at the comments section on those respective blog posts dealing with diggbar. You'll see this guy all over them. Basically, he's pushing his own agenda/site/blog under the guise of fighting a revolution for the masses. And this is not the first time - http://news.ycombinator.com/submitted?id=VizionQuest http://news.ycombinator.com/submitted?id=VizionQuest He hasn't submitted a single link from another site. It wouldn't matter if it's elsewhere, but that's not cool on HN. HN is about sharing information, mostly foreign. Do you see anyone else submitting links to their own site repeatedly?
