What about "Hacker News"?, some of the news here are not Hacker specific. In the guidelines of this site, it says, that here can be posted articles that comply with this: "anything that gratifies one's intellectual curiosity" So, this site could have be named "Intellectual's News", and not Hacker News?

You have a good point there, it is impossible to define what is good and what not in flavors.
It is like asking what is the best dog bread?
And yes, the review about service is more important.
This guy (Brian) at the end admitted that he did what he did just because he was unfollowed in twitter. What a guy!
