Great questions, incision! Product is somewhat vague. On Product Hunt you'll find a variety of "products" from mobile apps, to websites, to chrome extensions, to electronics. The loose definition is intentional so that there's a variety and serendipity.
Since the community is largely startup folks (founders, investors, marketers, designers, engineers, etc.), you see a mix of products that generally appeal to that audience.
Do you have any plans on opening up the board and/or introducing some transparent review process? I'd have a product that has recently gone public but I couldn't find a way to contact anyone for an application. I'd love to get some feedback on where we need to improve.
Curious (potentially obvious) question - is PH itself actually a startup? Or is it a side project that could turn into a startup type of thing? Do you plan to monetize (outside of the email sponsorships that I think you do already)?

There is an HN style job board. Not sure if they're charging to be on it (yet).
