> I really don't get why so many people here dislike the idea behind Dash Button

Welcome to HN, where some people think they just have to dislike everything they see on top to show how "unique" they are.

I remember when I first heard of twitter, the exact moment. My response was "Oh that's dumb. Why would I care if somebody posts what they ate for lunch? And it's only 140 characters?" Basically, I'm a visionary.

I think Amazon has the right idea. Just launch products and see how they go, what you learn, and if they stick. Very interesting company to watch operate.

in your defense, twitter really is an awful idea.

Most ideas suck, and those that do not suck are more likely targeted at people with different needs than the average HN user.

Businesses want to sell tons of crap anyway, so I'm never surprised to see harsh (but often constructive!) criticism on these boards.

Not true. Most comments were positive, and even the ones that showed reservations, hardly "hated".

You are right, I guess I've only read the top few comments, and read other comments from people that said "HN didn't like Dropbox". Thanks for correcting me.
