I don't read ten blog posts a day about how great TipJoy is. I do about Seesmic.

I'm not counting Seesmic out, I just don't get the hype.

Understood; as others mentioned, the hype seems to do with good PR and Loic knowing a ton of the right people.

Then again, who wouldn't want that attention? I'm sure TipJoy certainly would. The only bloggers I've seen with a TipJoy are either YC founders or HN readers -- which isn't a slant against TipJoy, but I'm sure they could benefit form a hype injection.

This just seems like a personal attack to me. Let the man say what he wants to say?

No, not a slight by any means. I'm actually just curious, honestly.
