Google's HN Spammer

It's not the only one. Here's a few others: ZDNet - https://news.ycombinator.com/submitted?id=wagtail and https://news.ycombinator.com/submitted?id=CrankyBear MacObserver - http://news.ycombinator.com/submitted?id=davethenerd ITWorld - https://news.ycombinator.com/submitted?id=joewooglin and https://news.ycombinator.com/submitted?id=jfruhlinger

He's interested in Google/Glass and is sharing his interest with hn. Though it does seem he submits his own site (glass-apps.org) a lot, it's not the only site he submits. Also, a lot of great contributors to hn regularly submit their own sites, including a number of people on the hn leader board (see "Lists" link at the bottom of most hn pages).

Also, he's not trying to hide his identity.

I've got nothing against anonymous or pseudonymous posters on hn, but there is some correlation between anon accounts and abuse like spamming or trolling (i.e. throw-away accounts).

If his submissions don't interest you then that's fine. Don't up-vote them. We're all different, and we all have different interests, but on rare occasions (i.e. everything on HN front page), a enough people agree something is interesting and up-vote it.

Heck, for me academic papers are interesting and I occasionally submit them here, but I'd be nuts to think the masses on hn agree with me that they're interesting.

This is just some random guy promoting his "glass-apps" site. No Google conspiracy here.

Eh, how is this proof that they are "Google's" spammer? They seem to post a huge amount of stuff, a lot of related to Google Glass. They are plenty of Glass fanboys out there already, just take a look at /r/android on Reddit.

Who are the forbes.com spammers?
