Sites based on the real name of their primary writer are very strong: graham,
sivers, yegge, shaw, buchheit, maroon, joel, aaron, pmarca, ejohn, godin. (A
message about authenticity, voice, and personal brands?)

Other sites known as the outlet of a single author also do well: catonmat,
daringfireball, raganwald, blogmaverick, avc.

While I have no evidence to support this, I would guess this has to do with
the editing process. Comparing this list to <http://top.searchyc.com/domains>,
you see a lot of similar results. The difference is that some of them have
quite a lot of results (Techcrunch, Wired), but not nearly as high of a
average score.

In fact, it looks like the sites hitting the top of the list for average score
are ones that are written by a single author, who has several strong opinions
(ZedShaw is a good example). Since Hacker News doesn't allow down voting, it
seems that by draw up a commotion, and getting people interested in a semi-
controversial idea is what wins votes here.
