i have made no previous judgment on thenextweb, having never really read it before, but here are my immediate thoughts:
just looking at the first page, this is a segment of the headlines i see:
"All the 3rd Generation iPhone rumours in one handy image"
"Is Microsoft forcing Bing on IE6 users?"
"Microsoft brings Twitter and Facebook to XBox Live"
"Exceptionally refurbished Mac mini"
and all the rest are similar. these aren't the types of articles people here are interested in. they're tech fluff, things that will maybe bring in eyeballs from a digg or something.
start writing articles i'm interested in and i might start reading. and odds are, HN readers are on the same boat. if you want to know what types of articles the community likes, look at whats at the top of the front page.
- zeedotme 17y agoI hear ya but to be fair, you missed a number of the homepage post titles there. I realise HN is very entrepreneur/developer orientated but I've seen plenty of stuff from other tech orientated sites that are discussed heavily on here. Some examples of our content which I think you would be interested in: 1) "News site sued for the way Google summarised one of its pages : http://thenextweb.com/2009/06/02/firstdutch-news-site-sued-google-summarised-pages/ http://thenextweb.com/2009/06/02/firstdutch-news-site-sued-g... 2) "Who watches the watchers? The BBC gives it a go" http://thenextweb.com/2009/06/01/watches-watchers-bbc/ http://thenextweb.com/2009/06/01/watches-watchers-bbc/ 3) "Jeffrey Veen brings us typekit, a store for embedded web fonts" http://thenextweb.com/2009/06/01/jeffrey-veen-brings-typekit-store-embedded-web-fonts/ http://thenextweb.com/2009/06/01/jeffrey-veen-brings-typekit... 4) "Help build a global ‘Sound Map’ with this Google Maps/mobile mashup" http://thenextweb.com/2009/05/30/build-global-sound-map-google-mapsmobile-mashup/ http://thenextweb.com/2009/05/30/build-global-sound-map-goog... 5) "Connecting to the Internet with a 1964 Modem" http://thenextweb.com/2009/05/29/connecting-internet-1964-modem/ http://thenextweb.com/2009/05/29/connecting-internet-1964-mo...
- noodle 17y agofair, but i didn't pick those out because i'm neutral on them. not particularly driven to read them, or have read them elsewhere. edit: i'm kind of interested in #4 and #5, but those are not on the front page. like i said -- i only looked at the articles on the front page.
