Too few sampled comments (3) to say how often HN recommends it.?
Why HN links it
HN readers link Rex Sorgatz's blog for older web material, such as a Logitech ad that is now hard to find and a quoted line about Facebook buying FriendFeed. Commenters only cite or link it.
Summarised by Claude from a sample of 3 HN comments that link here. Each comment is marked recommending, critical or neutral (citing without judging); how this works.

What Hacker News says?
Logitech made quite a splash with its "Feels good / Feels better" ad, now almost completely scrubbed from teh innrnets: https://www.adforum.com/creative-work/ad/player/23267/baby/ or http://www.fimoculous.com/images/ad3.jpg (It is a shame that they make crap now. Back then their equipment was the best.)
