I just took a look at their Wikipedia entry and noticed that they received investment from Vulcan, founded by Paul Allen. No wonder they called Bill Gates a hero in their previous blog post. http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1694538

Because they write interesting articles.

I really didn't think this article had any new insight.

It simply boiled down to: let's capitalize on this Groupon buzz and say we won't make the same mistakes.

Their article on Bill Gates was simple link bait.
