As I explained earlier, the submission page is not a PR newswire. Your content is fine for LinkedIn or other social media sites, and announcing a product launch here is cool, but what you're doing borders on spamming. Please stop.
There's nothing in this article about the launch -- I was hoping to start a conversation about the future of brands' social media engagement with their customers. I was under the impression that type of discussion was appropriate for this site. Was that not right?
One, Ask HN questions tend to be specific; HN is not a forum where people do long discussions on general topics for their own sake.
Two, most HN readers are regulars, sometimes very regular. We will notice a string of submissions.
Third, you're not looking to 'start a conversation', you're looking to promote a product. We're not children.
Please, just respect the mores of the community you are dealing with. You have been 3 3 years and this is the second time you've tried to get a product off the ground, so it's not like you don't know.
