   Even more important : HOW does this get to the first two results in the first place, with only 3 comments and 20 points ? Is it enough for 20 of the OP's friends to upvote a story for it to get to the top ? Not hating, just curious to know.

   I can see this being valuable for developers who aren't interested in learning how to configure / tweak a VPS themselves (and I do know a few of those); not sure how big that market is, but there's definitely a market. Out of curiosity, is

   I have a hard time believing that people (other than the close circle around the founders) would actually buy into this concept. Do you know of any data that supports this ? Unforortunately, from what I can see, the "promote us to get an i

    Nicely executed, the video is well done. Will be interesting to see if real-life examples of viral content come out of this kid of model. IMHO, users need to choose to share content themselves in order to go viral : it's not the link-posti

    Hate that I have to save it to my iphone desktop in order to use this ; not being able to try it out on my desktop was annoying as well, but I think enough people already expressed that sentiment. Other than that the app is ok, just not sur

    great service - already can see so many possibilities. One problem I ran into : the craigslist search result URL I'm trying isn't being recognized http://montreal.fr.craigslist.ca/muc/ Add a bug reporting feature !

    There is no such thing as bad press, and AirBnB is only going to get more exposure and users from this. Case in point : Godaddy http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=2822946

    I'd be very interested in knowing what the team did prior to launch in terms of marketing / viral / PR strategy to get these numbers. Impressive!

    Not really surprised, I just went to unsusbcribe from their newsletter this morning, was getting increasingly tired of their over the top sales shpeel.
