The Stormpulse Blog is the company blog at stormpulse.wordpress.com, writing about startups and programming. Since 2007, 5 different Hacker News readers have linked it 13 times. The last post was in 2012, but the archive is still widely read.
Too few sampled comments (1) to say how often HN recommends it.?
Why HN links it
HN comments link the Stormpulse blog's post about its Tipjoy tip-jar feature, which is cited as one reason for the community's response. The posts cover the Stormpulse hurricane-tracking site.
Summarised by Claude from a sample of 1 HN comments that link here. Each comment is marked recommending, critical or neutral (citing without judging); how this works.

What Hacker News says?
We began the program in 2007, halted it in 2008 (lots of traffic meant read-only), but will begin it again in 2010: http://stormpulse.wordpress.com/2007/08/19/human-consensus-h...

HN discussionYeah, we're delighted by the community's response to Tipjoy. I think one reason they are doing well is the blog post about it: http://stormpulse.wordpress.com/2008/09/04/like-stormpulse-l... But I should mentioned that you'd need to add at least 3 zeros to that total amount to consider Tipjoy close to mainstream.

HN discussionWe have that. That's actually how we 'got big' (although we're still very small compared to the NHC, CNN, etc.). http://stormpulse.wordpress.com/stormpulse-api/
