    "But, worse, aside from being non-useful, such stereotyping by (some) thinkers is the very thing they criticize in despise in others, so it's an error in thinking, too!" Wrong, it …

    This may be blasphemy at HN, but I see so many similarities between digg and reddit. From the power of their service to the complete adoration to their founders. Doesn't this fawni…

    Agree with everything BUT if you screen "does anybody want ice cream" down Venice beach in the middle of the summer, I'm sure you'll get some customers. lol But in all seriousness,…

    I don't get the value add here and why its fundable. I'm sure its useful, but will it become ubiquitous? I doubt it. So it seems like the VC's are trying to have another Instagram …
