It only takes one or two votes to get a new story on the front page. Past that, of course, it quickly disappears if it doesn't receive more votes - as it should. Not arguing for or against anything, I just think that "4630 Twitter followers" and "massive Twitter broadcasts" is completely overstating the issue. You only need a couple of friends who also read HN.
