that's an argument i've heard in favor of them (serves as a reminder). good to know that it has that effect for you.

The author (Brent Csutoras) "specializes in Viral linkbait". Could this article be an example, perhaps?

I think the author makes a good case for the upgrade. But I was fairly confident that the migration would happen later if not sooner. The more interesting question for me is why interest in Ruby has been dropping off.

If she's so bad, why is she so popular? Aren't there enough bad blogs to choose from? Or is there a shortage of career advice on the web?

There seems to be an assumption that using "social media" is a must regardless of the business you're in. Typical buzzword bandwagonism.

There was an article in the NYT a month or two back about Proctor & Gamble trying to build up a Facebook presence. I don't know how many other companies are doing this but I really don't see much use for a Skittles page. Wouldn't this b

Makes complete sense. I like your idea. You should do it.

I think this is a brilliant idea in theory. In practice, the sticky part seems to be how Last Post finds out about your death. I guess someone has to notify them officially. Otherwise your relatives might be surprised when they open their m

What kind of volume can you do with this? Very interesting.

This is a story that potentially hundreds of thousands of U2 fans would be interested in emailing to each other. Not to mention anyone who has ever downloaded music illegally. Sound like linkbait?

What's "important"? But yes, there's a fine line. HN has been struggling with this issue of protecting the community versus promoting free discussion. It's one of the toughest issues in social sites.

I would want to know what the Facebook functionality would add to my experience besides the login ease. Signup is not really a major hurdle for me such that I would feel more comfortable with FC in place. In fact I would be less at ease bec

What does FC add to this besides saving a login step? Also, how will it make money?

Might be a little too clever. So many options in the UI it's a little confusing to figure it out without signing up - which I am reluctant to do until I have figured out how it works. How will this site make money?

I think the government has better things to be doing than setting up their own video hosting service.What's wrong with the government outsourcing this job to a private company at no cost to the taxpayer? Sets a pretty good precedent if you
