Comment on Product Hunt is the social news of tech products by influential people

Comments

Not only is Product Hunt important because of the visibility it provides to new products (and entrepreneurs), but also because it's arguably the most dense collection of high quality discussions about product development decisions. Notably, Ryan and his team have managed to accomplish this without being unnecessarily exclusive.

This is tremendously valuable for the technology community.

I appreciate that, Jason. I hope Product Hunt can help both large VC-backed startups and some kid that built a cool product, get the attention they deserve. It's early but we're seeing examples of this already. It's exciting.

There's a huge opportunity for you to do that, but only if you open up participation. Because submissions and comments are limited to a few users, the kid with a cool product will only get eyes on it if she gets the right person's attention, which defeats the purpose.
