On December 2nd, 2006 I wrote the blog post published later in this post when I was CEO of startup Koral about my experiences in pitching VCs.

I’ve been thinking a lot about comments lately. I recently wrote a post about how to get access to people at conferences and how to connect with people on social networks. When I sent out 300 invites in early 2006 people thought I was crazy. As usual we began a dialog with lots of people sharing their points of view.

Paul explains the rationale behind HackerNews this way : “We wanted to try to recreate the way reddit felt back in 2006, when the users were mainly hackers. If you dislike something someone has said, point out why it’s mistaken, instead of making remarks about them personally. And in particular, no ad hominems.

Tim encouraged us to set up a blog and start talking openly about what we were doing as a company and inviting comments. This was 2006 and we were now working on our second company. But it seemed strange to me that we would openly talk about stuff rather than waiting for a big announcement to the press.
