even if this is true, this will only answer question 1, but what about question two? why are they getting so much attention from everyone?

  Maybe because they're good? Even the Uncov guy likes it! :)

    what do you mean by they? the team or the product? ... if the product, then how did YC knew it was going to be good... and it takes more than being good to convince people to take a look at your product .... I think they are good but I don't see how they are so different from other ones... specially since they are so late in the game ... when you are late and you have a product that has social aspects to it, you need to do a lot more than being good in order to compete ... you have a major disadvantage and thats network effects (maybe not as crucial here since no one has really gained it yet, but once someone does its very hard to compete) ... also its not that easy to convince a blogger to switch from their current commenting system to a new one, specially that they have created an archive for themselves, and many of the current systems do not let you move your content around (i.e. at the end of the day you don't really own your comments)

      Being different in the manner you describe is overrated.
