Comment on Ask HN: Review my startup - Chords!

Comments

I was really excited to see this, but is HN being astroturfed?

The bottom of chords.fm says "Copyright CBMS Networks, Inc."

Which points to this website: http://cbmsnetworks.com/

Is this really a startup? Is this really YOUR startup? Or a project at a larger company that specializes in technology like this?

Looking at the "about" section it's hard to say. http://cbmsnetworks.com/index-1.html#

Sorry if I'm totally off-base. I just know too many people who see HN as nothing more than a distribution channel and are willing to take advantage of the general good will people have here.

CBMS networks is a startup company that develops chords detection technology and Chords! is one of the product that is based on this technology. I am co-owner of CBMS networks and fully developed Chords! as a separate product.

Now the question is could you call Chords! a startup? From mine perspective yes - since it is brand new product. If this is not according to HN definitions, than I am sorry for posting it here.

Plus the poster's account is like 8 hours old.

Call me paranoid, but I've come to believe in the last two months HN has started to be gamed

I was reading HN for more than 3 years now, without posting, so no need to register.

The site has only been open to the public for around 2 years.

Before I was reading PG ...

Regardless of the source, the damned thing actually works very well.

I'm quite impressed.
