Possibly Offtopic - If you are going to link directly to blog posts of companies (especially if they have been in private beta) could you PLEASE have a "What is $product" bit.
Either one or two lines in the initial part of each post or preferably in an easily noticeable sidebar.

Seriously, please do this. The grab on the homepage is great, but we have to click away before seeing what AeroFS actually is!
The grabpoint "AeroFS encrypts your data end-to-end, and only shares your files with those who you invite. Files are never stored in the public cloud." is good, you should stick that into the header, especially for a press release / HN submission where you will be getting attention.
Yeah, I think blog + discussion, and then edit, and then turn into a book (which people can download or if they want to buy from Amazon buy, etc.) makes the most sense.
