"The way to get selected to submit or comment appears to be ryans buddy or that buddies buddy. Its a really misogynistic way to do it and minoritys and women seem to be under represented." Quick anecdote to rebut this, I was 'selected' to submit. I don't know Ryan, other than I know who he is. I don't know anyone that knows Ryan (I don't think). Like pretty much everyone reading this comment, I am pretty sure he has no idea who I am. I follow him on Twitter, he doesn't follow me. I was 'selected' because I hit Ryan up on Twitter with a quick link to our product, he took a look and decided it was interesting enough for PH, so gave me permission to submit. It was that simple. Granted, I certainly don't tick any diversity boxes, but I think it would be a stretch to suggest that my ethnicity, gender, or sexuality had anything to do with my selection. For transparency, here is the conversation that lead to my 'selection': https://twitter.com/phixx/status/469208498597679105 https://twitter.com/phixx/status/469208498597679105 And here is the outcome: http://www.producthunt.com/posts/alleyoop http://www.producthunt.com/posts/alleyoop Disclaimer: I like shiny new things, and PH scratches that itch for me.
