Your 24 hrs fame on HN is probably adding zero value to your startup. I don't understand why ppl get so excited when they got techcrunched, nonetheless HNed. Anyway change your name, I thought that was obvious reading into the comments of that thread.

If your customer base largely consists of the kind of people who read HN, there's really no better place to launch.
I had immense success launching my startup naming business here[1], the conversion rate on clicks from HN exceeded 1%...
On the other hand, when my Photoshop business made the front page[2], it didn't bring in a single new sale. Essentially, it all comes down to who your real target audience is.
