Before we launched were were getting about 50 signups/day from Twitter at our landing page - around 150 visits.
Have you considered what potential there is for scaling in up? Because if all you are getting that way is 100 uniques a day, the effort involved sounds like it'd make it a net loss compared to simply buying the traffic via paid advertising.

This is unscrupulous, even the account that submitted this to HN is only 3 hours old and I'm guessing most of the upvotes have been faked.
