I love this concept, but I'm hoping they can manage to get a community that can keep the level of content high instead of the mostly link bait and spam articles the SEO community is known for.
A quick look at the home page for Inbound.org which has 25 articles shows:
* 9 articles that are "X Number of Things"
* 4 "The Guide to" articles
* 2 "How to" articles
That's 15 out of 25 articles that are mostly filled with shallow link bait type articles. Granted I didn't read all of them so I'm sure some are good and deserve to be high on the page but the ratio is way off.
By comparison the HN home page has zero of the same type of articles.
Now maybe that's what they are going for, but personally I'd love to see less lists and more high quality content around marketing.
