> What to Submit: Anything that good hackers would find interesting. That includes more than hacking and startups. If you had to reduce it to a sentence, the answer might be: anything that gratifies one's intellectual curiosity.

Is what you're submitting something "good hackers would find interesting"?

I submit links in the hope of sharing some novel/interesting information with others, and to spawn discussions around a subject I find interesting.

> but beyond that does it really translate into commerce and connections for people ?

Sometimes, for some people, it does. But still, rule #1 is that it should be interesting, then the commerce and connections (from HN and other sources) will follow automatically.
