love to know how much of the HN community suspected this -- when can we get an instagram poll?? :)

this feels like such a clickbait piece. hope usa today pleases their advertisers.

speaking for where i was born & raised, there is little semblance of crime in the great majority of atlanta. if anything, it feels like it's all coming from a particular lower income county or two.

i'd like to think a guy that has been at the center of the technology beat with some of the best opinions in the biz is a good person to have on the VC side.

twitter is the most powerful tool if used properly. you can cultivate a rapport that can translate into a relationship before you know it...and for companies like ours that are completely outside of the heart of the action, it's allowed us to stay somewhat attached.

agree with the guys above...sounds like a pretty easy solution to me. i think there's a lot of positives that can come from a standing desk. more than anything, it's a much healthier lifestyle than slouching over 10 hours/day.

when 2.4mil are following an account, it's safe to say word will spread :)

feel like i've run into the issue with facebook likes before. have they really not resolved it by now?

love it, mike. you in miami?

as for a simple request, our startup ( http://gorankem.com ) should be getting a nice mashable writeup soon enough tonight in their spark of genius feature.

if you could share that across your networks using the six buttons from the mashable article, i'd really appreciate it!

yeah, was already planning to pass along the mashable story to other industry specific writers and ask 'em "did you catch our mashable writeup?" and hopefully it could snowball from there.

i know when lifehacker picked us up out of the blue a year ago, a number of random smaller stories resulted from the domino effect.

i'm mainly concerned with how we can make sure the story is just spread across as many channels as possible as it's still fresh.

any message boards or communities that would help spread? (obv HN could be a great source...)
