Karma whoring! Unlike in Reddit, comments count for karma here. So having us vote up comments instead of the article still isn't karma-neutral. You'd need an additional "Vote this down when you vote up one of the other options" to have that.

But it's an interesting poll, so I'll vote up anyway.

Quality Karma whoring!

Fair enough. I'll add that option.

I am in a startup full-time.

Here.

Sorry about this mess. I need to add support for polls.

It's too bad pollground isn't around to provide a poll widget for you.

Someone recently posted http://www.submityourvote.com/ a few days ago. Seems like the same type of concept.

Interesting. Here's a link to my (now failed) poll site: http://www.todotoh.com

Instead of choosing an answer, you either left your own answer or joined up with a person who you agreed with. The intent was to build networks of people based on who you agreed with.

Didn't work though. :)

Uh oh, I hope news.yc doesn't asymptotically approach SLASH (Slashdot's CMS).

That's really not that bad of an idea. Probably.

I am in a startup part-time (I have a full-time job).

I'm at it part-time.

People should reply to the comments and not just upvote them so we see who is where. Otherwise, this looks a lot like a ploy for karma.

It would be nice to do a startup one day.

I am actively working (part time) on a project that I intend to build a startup around, but it is not currently a startup.

I have an idea for a startup.

startup ?= website

I do not want to be involved in a startup (but I enjoy reading about it).

Why?

This is one of the options in the poll (but it's a bit hard to tell now). This option was meant to see how many people visit Startup News who have no intention of doing a startup.

None of the above (reply to this comment if you want to elaborate).

Make your vote Karma-neutral, vote this down when you vote up one of the other options.

I would've upvoted this for being a hilarious hack. Then I'd need to pick another couterbalance :)
