What's more, Cryptocat is prominently featured with a perfect score ("score" being their word) above the fold, with TextSecure at the bottom of the list. Alphabetization would be a credible explanation for this if EFF hadn't already made the editorial decision to hide many many more applications behind a "show all applications" dropdown.
I think they may have changed this, as it now defaults to showing all applications and then featured applications is select-able. It's also alphabetized. I doubt there was some nefarious reasoning, but I could be wrong.
What was the logic behind what they chose to feature? They buried PGP, the most important secure messaging tool on the Internet, but had Cryptocat at the top of the list with a perfect score.
You are correct, however how they've displayed the page still doesn't sit right with me. There are a lot of unrealistic points being made with it's current form.
Sorry to the EFF guys reading this, I understand what you wanted to do however the execution wasn't perfect so we're nitpicking. News.YC crowd is a finicky bunch.
