Yeah, I get what you mean. But we've been using it for the last couple of months just the three of us (the team behind it) and we found it valuable. Now of course it would be more useful to me if I could follow a hundred people posting high-quality links instead of just two, but I think the diminishing returns kick in pretty soon.

Cool idea! I can imagine something like that going viral. A social game of sorts.

HN without the comments is actually a pretty good tagline :D

Thanks for the idea. I'll think about how to better preview what's inside on the outside.

Thanks for trying it out. It's not really meant to be a social network, it's more like a multiplayer tool. We wanted a lightweight piece of software where you can post links and your friends can see them in a feed. Something like newsletters or RSS feeds or Twitter without ads, recommended topics and replies. When you have a couple of friends with a similar need, blnk instantly provides value, no network effect needed.

Network effects do matter of course, but more in a context of app’s distribution, I think.
