My first own-content post on HN. Would love some feedback.

"(through some ridiculous miracle)" -> best part of your comment :-D

That's right. I do not have problem storing information. I use workflowy already.

Thanks for sharing lights-generator. Checking it out.

That's awesome.

But it should soon become overwhelming if you have a lot of content coming in. If you want to have a glance at all your saved quotes, let's say, you have to expand into each mail to read them even if they are just 2-3 lines.

I can see how this works nicely for half-baked ideas in mind. You can simple reply to the thread each time you have more points.

I have always looked at pocket like 'read it later' (it's previous name as well). Save -> read -> archive.

However, looks like a lot of people use it like a bookmarking tool.

and thanks for sharing your flow.

This is similar to what I do, save brief notes about important stuff. I hardly save links. Mostly it's a line or 2 from the link that I save.

I am assuming you will not review them all but only the important ones. So you probably have a tag called 'important'?

Those algos, ideally should weigh the twitter handle. Or else it's a stupid algo.

One need to spam through authoritative handles.

Pretty much like tricking google ranking algorithm with site-farms and fake backlinks. But hey, a lot of people were able to do this before Google started to improve its algo.

Are there any numbers about what's spent outside of facebook/twitter? Or at least any investigations going on?

Most of the crappy ads I see come from other ad networks (outbrain, taboola, etc).

news outlets cover news about bitcoins but not stuff like 'Secret revealed: see how this couple made million dollars in 3 weeks' sort of articles.

+ also to get the initial seed interest so that these news outlets keep talking about it.

I have seen A LOT of ads from ICO and bitcoin exchanges. For articles like above, myself (and most people here) might not be the target.

I actually did not mean to spend that 30M$ to get 1000 others. But yeah how do I convince 1000 others to invest 100M$ into this is a valid question.

If I am the one with $100M, I will likely have enough connections to start the ball rolling.

1. Most of the market at that point is filled with 'get-rich-quick' people. 2. It's not regulated and can be gamed like above. (I understand that not being regulated is also it's biggest selling point)

It's probably like a great social network totally filled with 'tag-your-friend' posts.
