Maybe I am just being too cynical, but is there any way to prove that this actually happened, rather than being a viral marketing stunt by MeetingBurner?
Your blog really gives no direct info about who you are (I now see that things would have been clarified if I had clicked through to your twitter account), making it hard to tell whether you are truly independent or a marketing person for MeetingBurner. Credibility really wasn't helped by your blog post being submitted by a MeetingBurner founder (according to his/her HN profile).
Anyway, I've verified the screen shot for this post:

showing somewhat similar behavior by GoToMeeting toward Dim Dim, so it does seem that this story is legit.
Fair enough, but yeah, there are a few clues as to who I am and the Svbtle network is becoming pretty well known at a quick pace.
I suppose that I could update my blurb in the sidebar to better explain, but generally speaking anyone who's reading that site is someone who knows me anyway. Getting linked on HN is fringe case for me.
