  That's because it's often really "startup news" =-(

    It used to be Startup News.

      Huh, didn't know that was the original name. I personally prefer the Hacker New moniker. I imagine 'Startup News' was just a working title for the project as it was only kept for ~7 months.

        I reckon there was only so much you can read about startups on the web before it gets boring. (I certainly had that impression at the end of that phase.)
