Well, I didn't, but I didn't think begging for votes was really accepted behavior either.

The goal around here, AFAIK, isn't to get the most votes but to have a quality discussion. This guy is just begging you to get links to his site voted up, probably so he can get more eyeballs/ad revenue.

...but to have a quality discussion

Some articles & videos speak for themselves. See http://ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html .

What to Submit

On-Topic: Anything that good hackers would find interesting. That includes more than hacking and startups. If you had to reduce it to a sentence, the answer might be: anything that gratifies one's intellectual curiosity.

The thing is that if it is quality and you are a HN member and your first instinct is not to run to HN and find the article and vote on it if you like it, then this is an easy way to get you to the submission and see the relevant discussion and upvote it if you like it.
