- ColinWright 13y agoThe discussion here actually names the site: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=434510 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=434510 There's plenty more of value there. Unsurprisingly, given that it comes from 2009, this has been submitted before. They're all fairly old, though, so if you have anything new to say you'll have to say it here. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=3128300 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=3128300 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=2853365 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=2853365 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=2812649 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=2812649 (some discussion) https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1786879 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1786879 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1700583 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1700583 (2 comments) https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=489569 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=489569
- ctdonath 13y agoAmusing historical comments from 4.5 years ago: facebook may not be around next year. In fact, given the way things are going for them, I would not be surprised if your site outlived theirs. and Facebook covers only a small percentage of people online.
- ojbyrne 13y agoIt's an interesting story, but doing the math - $300 million/$25 billion in revenue .... Somehow "The 1.2% Button" is not as catchy a title.
