Somehow I find the use of the word 'kid' a bit out of place here.

How so? He's a minor in nearly every state in the US, where he lives. I tried to find the legal age in Boston but "Boston Legal" keeps coming up...

The legal age is not what I had in mind. If someone is 17 chronologically but in every other way behaves like a very smart adult would then it feels as though calling them 'kid' is talking down to them. Nothing major, it just seems to not be one of the three words that I would use to describe Mark with :)

I find the whole post out of place here. It's one thing to have a discussion on here about the success and merits of an MVP site that certain people seem to find entertaining enough to pass it along, but why do we need a quickly thrown together blog post that merely regurgitates some content in that thread taking up space on HN as well?

"social network"? isn't this just a facebook app?
