Tactless. They must not be regulars, because they would know that the whole screen would be awash in green user names. The product actually _does_ look interesting, but after this, not touching it. I'll stick with etherpad and skype.
I don't see why the company couldn't have let their product speak for itself instead ruining their rep with this underhanded tactic.
Also, their site says the public beta opens in 11 days.. Why not wait till then to show HN so the developers here could actually try the product themselves? Some brain-dead marketing from kobra.
