Why HN links it

Nate Wienert's blog, which covers his Obtvse project, a Svbtle-like blogging platform, and a Hacker News redesign idea. HN commenters link it for context on the Svbtle controversy and the Obtvse clone.

  3. Instead of linking to the newest page on HN, how about linking directly to the content. In this case: http://natewienert.com/hackernew I understand you won't get nearly as much "karma" for linking to website in a comment as you would if you hit the frontpage, but now I had to go looking for your article in the long list of articles on the newest page with no real gain.
