I don't understand how Ycombinator News works sometime. We have written this article http://wind8apps.com/microsoft-stock-down-11-percent/ and it was the FIRST here, it got on the front page, it got REMOVED and then somebody submitted a simple link to the stock page.
I mean, don't we deserve a little credit for being quick enough? Or we ALWAYS have to be the primary source of something. In this case, the google stock page is only a tool.
Please explain on how this works because I have previously submitted stories that I discovered and further developed.
I just need to understand how this community works to make the most of it.
The guidelines and culture encourage submitting original sources: "Please submit the original source. If a blog post reports on something they found on another site, submit the latter." In this case, raw stock market information from Google or another source would be the "original".
Also, the last time I saw one of your articles, a lot of people suggested running a basic spell check over your articles. I can tell that still isn't being done. More than "being first", your articles need to add meaningful insight and information. That isn't conveyed if you text hasn't been well-edited.
Why would we go to your link over the Google Finance link? Most of us are engineers here and don't want to sift through bs to find the info we need. The Google Finance link is straight to the point and gives us the info we need to have a discussion.
