Very interesting. The top 10 are pretty expected, but the rest are more meaty. Great to see @dcurtis at #11 and @yegg at #32.

Wouldn't have expected @garyvee to be big with the HN crowd.

Definitely some people in the bottom half of the top 100 I would have expected to rank higher.

Interesting. I assume you did this when you were writing the code to attach people's twitter names to the @newsyc20 tweets of their submissions. I noticed that this morning and thought it was clever.

Strange, I'm on HN and Twitter daily and still don't recognize half the list.

I don't think 300 people is enough. I'll add my twitter handle to my profile. I wasn't following anyone in the first 20!

I've got 359 Twitter users from Hacker News profiles on this Twitter list: http://twitter.com/tlrobinson/hackernews

We should compile the union of our two lists.

I'm both amused that I follow probably more than half of the that list, and saddened by the fact there is only one woman on the list.

Sure, I'll email it to you.
