Just getting on the front page of HN means he got 10k+ views from interested people in the right field for their product for the cost of a blog entry. Just a link to yesgraph.com probably would not have done that. It certainly wouldn't have done that more than once like a blog can. You can't really claim the blog was a bad idea when it just succeeded wildly.

I have no idea how you get such success with marketing (e.g. HN front page), beyond... wait for it... telling people how you were successful with marketing. If you're so lucky, more power to you. And for the record, I never said a blog was a bad idea.
- grinnick 13y agoThe problem is that the cost isn't just the time that it takes to write this one blog entry. You have to factor in the time it takes to write the blog entries which get very few views.
