Tweeting about your posts is fine. I do that myself. But you didn't link to your post (http://swombat.com/2011/4/12/bushido http://swombat.com/2011/4/12/bushido) but rather to the HN story about your post.
- ig1 16y agoI frequently link to the HN story rather than my blog posts directly due to the additional value HN comments provide.
- DanielBMarkham 16y agoSame here. Even if you have something bad to say about my submission, better to share it with the rest of HN than simply tell me on my blog. Helps everybody. Keeps somebody else from submitting stuff like it. And if you have something interesting to add, more people see it on HN than on my blog. As long as you're not explicitly trying to game the system, I never saw a downside to it.
- pg 16y agoLinking may be ok. I suspect it is the explicit request for upvotes that ends up setting off the voting ring detector.
