Tell HN: 'Review Startup' thread killed for using another service

This thread was killed, id=1860858, from what I can see, for using Twilio as their backend. What is wrong with that? Why should he duplicate the effort if he can essentially contract it out? Sure, it isn't particularly sexy, but it is an effective launch strategy.

You're making a pretty baseless assumption. Many 'Rate My Startup' submissions use api's and other services for their backends. Plus, there was another 'Rate My Startup' submission killed as well. There are a myriad of other reasons as to why this happened.
