Mailing list may have a cleaner interface than web, every email address subscribed to the mailing list is associated with a handle on HN web site, which can be ensured by some way. What do you think about this?
That would just fork a bunch of threads from HN onto the mailing list, without the benefits that the site offers.<p>HN is currently 'pull', a mailing list would make it 'push'. I think one of the great things about the website is that you get to choose when you go there, a mailing list (especially a busy one) gets in the way of work pretty quickly.
I want to be able to "pitch" an idea to a group of people and have some of them accept to implement it for equity, or choose to fund it for investment.<p>I feel like I latched on the first successful idea, mainly because it was 'ramen profitable' from the first instant, but I have done the market research for plenty of Plan Bs and Cs and would love to see some of them come to fruition NOW, and not wait for me til I have the time. The good part is that my Plan A is 'advertising', and it can carry all others on its back free of charge. Everything piggybacks on everything else.<p>Or maybe I should just hunker down and get this one rolling then come back for the others one at a time.<p>Too many bright minds and too much time is being wasted on "web 2.0" utilities and single-serving crap. Corporate intranet software is where "we" need to be at.
