A Thank-You to the Commenteers [Hackaday] Linux’s Marketing Problem [Read article now »]( We're All Ears By [Elliot Williams]( You might be wondering, how do those genius-monkeys behind the scenes at Hackaday figure out where all the cool hacks are happening? Of course, we're all active members of our respective hacker communities, and we hear about new feats through all the same grapevines that you do. And then there's [the tips line]( where you can let us know about anything that grabs your attention. But there's a third channel too. You write to the comments, and we read the comments. I don't have enough fingers and toes to count how many times in the past couple months we've been reading through the comment section only to find someone saying "you think that's cool? you should see this!". We wouldn't have stumbled on [this super-precise lathe build]( if [Drew] hadn't mentioned it in passing. Heck, we wouldn't have written [this article on Josephine Peary]( without [Nitpicker Smartyass]'s comments. And that was just last week. Now, a normal human being can't possibly read all of the comments. We put out ten articles per day, and get between ten and hundreds of comments per post, so you're not required to read them all. But we are, and when you stumble on a post that really piques your interest, be sure to dip in deeper. You might be tipping us off for the next article, you might be entering into a discussion with some really knowledgable folks, or you might just be learning something new. We're all listening!
