On: Gmail is down

Well, when I entered HN I looked at the top stories and didn't see yours. Then I logged in and submitted mine.

It is possible I missed your item, or that it wasn't on the first page, or that by the time I logged and submitted mine yours was submitted.

Sorry if you feel I swiped you karma.

mine ? I did not submit this, somebody else did.

The front page does not show recent submissions, but 'new' does. The front page uses an algorithm based on the 'acceleration' of postings, their age and total points to figure out what to display.
