Personally, I'm absolutely sick of Buffer. Damn, they email me more than most services I use, they publish regularly on several blogs which you can find on the front page of HN practically every day of the week, and they guest blog on a number of high traffic social media sites. Yes Buffer, you know how to game the press. Yes, you are hustlers. You have controlled HN better than anyone I have ever seen (the herd mentality on HN is very real, you know this), but man, there is such a thing as over-exposure. If HN truly is about learning about and helping other startups, Buffer needs to take a back seat and let others get some exposure. P.S. That is the startup "secret". Publish on multiple blogs, maximum leverage with your email list, make alliances with other apps, guest post on high traffic websites and game HN RELENTLESSLY. Rinse and repeat. Rinse and repeat.
