It's refreshing to see a front page without politics posts.

  Ha ha true. Besides those it seems not much else has changed in the type of stuff that tops HN, whether that's a good thing or not is a whole other story I guess

I've been here since june of '07 via Justin.tv. Addicted ever since. Back then I asked for feedback and it made to the front-page. The comments as I recall were helpful, though others were a lesson in thickening ones skin!

Side note: It seems that since Oct 2011 HN front page has been crawled on a daily basis, and recently multiple times a day - that's a great thing! https://web.archive.org/web/20110401000000*/https://news.ycombinator.com/ https://web.archive.org/web/20110401000000*/https://news.yco...

> #6: "Odeo up for sale" Hard to believe that Twitter has only been around for ~6 years, given how much impact it's had. https://web.archive.org/web/20070222055143/http://blog.obvious.com/2007/02/looking-for-odeos-new-home.html https://web.archive.org/web/20070222055143/http://blog.obvio...

  I'm sorry, what's "Twitter"?

    In the stone age a guy wrote a book "Real men don't eat quiche". I think about that book whenever I Tweet. P.S. the only benefit I got from Twitter is it's incorporation throuh a financial, stock site.

    Ok, the downvotes are deserved, but more to the point, I don't use twitter and after all these years I have not understood what it's for. What do people use it for?

Love the Gmail article. "We can't afford to give away everything for free," Brin said.

  Hah, yeah, I saw that one too. I never knew Gmail considered that.

Look at all the single first name usernames on the frontpage. Lots of early adopters right there.
