I did. And now I have to write all this shit about Antarctica.
So, on the bright side, you're getting some nice publicity right now. I did not quite know of Pinboard (it's like.. del.ico.us? but with attitude?), I knew about you only a little bit. Now I do sorta know Pinboard and a little more about you... and I've decided I'll pay for pinboard.
Thank you!
It's almost like this is working!
Who could have foreseen, and profited from, such an outcome?
The attitude (or opinions) comes from the creator/operator.
The service itself appeals to me due to it's utter lack of attitude. What? A vanilla service that people pay for?
If the primary criteria is "quality of founder(s)" I have no idea why they passed. Except maybe seeing someone everyday who's been successful with antithetical values might have been too much to bear.
I am disappointed you aren't going to be included in YC, but also ever so slightly relieved given my desire to see you avoid writing poetry in the future. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=11443299
