Ask HN: How do authors discover when others post their articles on HN so quickly?

2 points by 2bluesc 10y ago

Curious as to how people find out their article was posted on HN and respond with lightning reflexes in the comments. Do people watch Google Analytics Real-Time all day? Setup alerts? Are there other tools that everyone uses and I'm oblivious to?

Another option is that someone says they will post it, or asks to post it, and invites their friends to up vote. So the author may be standing by.
