now who wants to guess if this will be something that he'll keep up, or if its just a publicity stunt like Sergey Brin's blog

  who knows, but he did submit his own first post: http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=596327 http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=596327 and he's a lot more interactive with the community than brin is.

    I've always wondered if pg is wary of "familiarity breeds contempt".

    That wasn't a publicity stunt. I just discovered I didn't like blogging. I'd rather write things that take more time. This new blog is different. This is for YC. For YC we often have little things we want to say. Incidentally, I doubt Sergey Brin's blog was a publicity stunt either. He probably just had second thoughts after his first post attracted so much attention.

      It seems that news.yc comments take even less time than a blog post. How are they different?

        They're often incomprehensible out of context. Like this one.

    That's too bad. This is enjoyable to read. Essays are nice, but these 'speed essays' are also valuable.
