Actually, I didn't change the link (not sure how/who did, but that's fine) - and didn't know I could post "Ask HN" posts. Now that I know, I will in the future. (still not sure how to...but can figure it out now I know its possible)

Looking at most everything in the new section, they all link to outside links, so I thought that was required - like Digg. I restated the question here AND linked, so I could get responses here without the need for people to follow the link. Extra traffic to Trogger was a bonus, sure, but after SXSW and the hype of Twitter that continues there, I was curious.

Yeah, I didn't realize only admins could change links, so I apologize for that.

Still, I'm not sure what your role at Trogger is, but if you're involved in marketing or promotional stuff you should understand why I and the other people who voted you down reacted the way we did.

Next time act in good faith. Ask the community directly and if you want to post a link to your own startup don't pretend that you "found it" on "some community site." Tell us up front that it's your startup and gosh HN is great and we'd love your feedback, etc.

Point definitely taken, and I will. I'll also definitely use the Ask HN feature now that I know it exists, since that is what my goal with that one was. I do think there is a really knowledgeable community here, that I'm working to learn from as I start to get into this field.
