...but I HATE the regurgitation of Techcrunch (and CodingHorror) links here on Hacker News. How about prefixing links with the site:
[Techcrunch] Twitter Twitter Twitter :-)
I like the summary provided by TechCrunch
Many early/beta front pages are badly designed and do a terrible job of conveying what the start-up is trying to sell. TechCrunch at least does a reasonable job of pre-digesting what the start-up is about.
I'd be quite annoyed to lose the tech-crunch links.
Techcrunch sucks. But its opinion is very important and there is often useful information in the write up. ...but I HATE the regurgitation of Techcrunch (and CodingHorror) links here on Hacker News. How about prefixing links with the site: [Techcrunch] Twitter Twitter Twitter :-)
So I won't complain, and certainly won't ask for the removal of TC links, since there is a real demand for it and most people are fine with it.
When I'm really interested in some start-up covered by TC, I usually Google my way around, it's quick and easy. Since I'm not alone for wanting a direct link, maybe the best way to solve this is to submit the direct link in the comments.
It wouldn't be so hard to get this new habit : if you're the first to Google your way around, please post the direct link in the comments. I've done it once before : http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=227015 Easy and convenient, isn't it ?
If someone wants to create a poll, that would be fine, but "please vote up if" links are not good for the site.
