Ask HN: How many links to Chrome OS comments are enough?

2 points by bhseo ↗ HN
One? Two? Three? Four? Five? Six? Seven? Nine? Ten? A hundred?

Seriously, I now want to make something that filters my feeds by negative keywords.

Usually best to proceed such questions in the title with Ask HN:

I thought it would be added by the system.

What's most sad is how general the problem is-- the ChromeOS clusterfuck being only the most recent (and obvious) example. It seems that the majority of blogs are written by self-appointed pundits feeling they have to comment on every minor bump in the news cycle, instead of actually finding something interesting to say, sometimes even about subjects that others are not writing about.

(I apologize if that came across a little too "You kids, get off of my lawn!", and it goes without saying that the collective filter at HN is a lot better than other places...)

This is nothing; I have a screenshot where every link on the front page was about Steve Jobs.

A bigger problem IMO is that, in the current Web, "commenting on every minor bump in the news cycle" works. It generates money and reputation. Can this be fixed? Can sites like HN be part of that solution?

I agree, but a more proactive solution is to find and submit some good non-Chrome content. ;)

Agreed, however I was expecting someone to point me to a feed reader that supports negative keyword filters.

You forgot Eight. That would have been my choice.
