I got the same feeling from a couple of comments in this thread

  That's the way I feel every time I step into a HN thread about either a company being bought out or a company making their debut on HN. The almost instant responses of glowing reviews and praise for the service seem suspicious, but I have no way of knowing if the product/service really is that good or if the product/service has some dedicated fans commenting for them. It really is hard to tell the difference. I get accusations that I must work for Microsoft all the time because I'm one of the few people who don't hate everything they do. Since I'm well aware of the false positive rate for calling out paid comments, I tend to just not say anything even when I'm suspicious of another commenter. It is possible to just truly like the product/service being talked about.

    For the record, both of the people who have praised Swiftype in this thread are actual Swiftype customers, and both of them have written about Swiftype on their own sites (without prompting from us). http://canadian-fury.com/2012/05/19/presenting-swiftype-integration-and-an-explanation-of-how-to-do-it/ http://canadian-fury.com/2012/05/19/presenting-swiftype-inte... http://blog.mailgun.com/post/weekly-product-update-mailgun-default-smtp-config-for-rackspace-managed-cloud-plus-better-search-on-docs/ http://blog.mailgun.com/post/weekly-product-update-mailgun-d...
