I see HN a bit different than you do I think. To me HN is already a pretty good resource for information like this, I think I have more threads here bookmarked than from any other site I frequent.

It's a veritable gold mine for information.

Another thing you get when you post stuff on some blog somewhere that is really written exclusively for HN is that the comments will split between the two pages.

Like this it's all in one place. It's not like I need the pageviews.
