The Plus Side of HN's Now Large Userbase (or, Thanks HN)
I posted a blog entry of mine yesterday. (http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1295462) I had exhausted my research options so the post was me asking for help.<p>Less than twenty-four hours after submitting it to HN -- on a post that got no up-votes or comments -- I had several people contact me with suggestions, tangential ideas, and even a PDF copy of a presentation made three days ago that talked about EXACTLY what I was mentioning.<p>HN might have more noise these days, but the signal is still strong.<p>Thanks, HN.
