It's funny to watch the follower count shoot up.

A lot of HN'ers are out of 'stealth' mode on twitter after this.

I know... I'm really bad. If I see a counter somewhere I start tracking it. Professional disease.

You should post a plot of it somewhere 8-)

(That's not creepy, is it?)

http://twittercounter.com/paulg should do that, although its not updated yet

The interesting part would have been the first couple of hours.

After a week it's neat but no longer as interesting because you can't really see how fast the news spreads within seconds of making an announcement like this. I really am a dunce for not timestamping.

If I had thought of that earlier it would have been useful, but I did not save the timestamps, sorry!

That would have been an interesting experiment to do.
