I don't get why it's been downvoted so much. I'd expect a much warmer reception from the HN crowd.


Well, do you think it adds to the discussion?

I do think it's almost, but not completely off-topic.


It introduces the feed feature as an integral part of a social network's success/failure, stemming from real domain experience. If GP included maybe one more sentence on how/why the feeds mentioned failed I think it would've been much better received. Sorry GP you didn't deserve it.


thanks :)
