I like the "Not featured on Mashable". :D

Now that it's on HN frontpage, that'll probably need editing ;P

Why is that? They knew what they typing. I get the humor and the purpose behind it, and the outside box thinking. I should have thought about something like that myself.

I'm reasonably sure that the gp means that Mashable etc will cover it now, sooner or later.

I fail to understand what one has to do with another. They havent been covered, fact. Like any other startup I am sure they want to be covered. In the meanwhile they stepped outside of the box when asking "is there any other way we could use their logos without lying to people we've been covered". and viola!

This thread contains no criticism of that decision. Your defense is unnecessary. Relax, understand that text is a poor medium for emotions and notice that the comment that lead to your first reply could very well be interpreted as "Nice idea, but with the coverage on HN they might need to edit that soon, because they'll soon be covered _now_".

It was, for all I can tell, a friendly and humorous remark. I really think you just misunderstood the tone/intentions.
