Google has a little spammer loose on HN. Neat.

Seems much more likely to be the people behind glass-apps.org than Google.

I'm not criticizing them, its neat to find something like this here. I can find it on almost any other site out there, but HN is not the place to game. Still, who knows if glass-apps.org is getting a nice check from Google. Not a bad thing, either. I know of companies whose sole reason of existence is to do this for bigger companies. Its just neat. That's all.
