Does anyone else get strange looks from people who see you reading "Hacker News"?
swombat: The only time this site's name was really a problem for me was when I made the mistake of mentioning my business in a google-meaningful way on here (e.g. "business-name is targeted at the construction industry"), and google picked up my comment here as being higher rated than our website itself!This was back in the days when we didn't have that much google-juice, and so the result was that hapless architects would search for "business-name" and find that the first result was a site called "Hacker News" which said that "business-name is targeted at the construction industry".Needless to say, that was not exactly the best impression to make. Fortunately, pg was extremely gracious and altered the comment to remove the name of my business when I asked him.
