The short answer is "yes". Twitter is, in fact, very interesting. The slightly longer answer is: Unfortunately, both statistics and the effects of feedback guarantee that the Twitter posts on news.yc won't be spread uniformly over time. Sometimes ten of them are going to hit the leader board at once. Then there will be weeks where Twitter is invisible. I recommend that you treasure those weeks.
