#3Against the many comments/suggestions that were made in previous posts apparently g0atbutt is still g0atbutt.
Regardless, the site looks great and I am excited to see what comes from it.

Haha, yes I am. I've had it for years, doesn't seem right to change it now…

#5This should be a nice alternative to pop journalism about the incestuous topics (Foursquare's gonna make it, AT&T sucks, Apple is awesome but we still like to call their shit, Foursquare is still awesome, MG Siegler cut himself on the edge of his Macbook Air...)
It's amazing how much crap those guys produce and how little they do stir up interesting startups. Arrington's "no embargo" policy - supposedly principled - is at odds with their extortionate methods of promising coverage in exchange for perks for their readers and exclusives.

#7For a site that -- at least on the Web site -- does not wish to be compared to TechCrunch (as evidenced by the footer text), why even include the footer reference to TechCrunch?
I get that was the stated goal here, but that footer is confusing without the context of the Hacker News announcement.
