It was wednesday at around 11 AM PST. I'm pretty sure the other times were closer to mid-day like 12 - 2. Although this post was posted mid-day as well, however on Thursday and it seemed to do really well.
thanks!
A few days ago there was another article suggesting that the best time to post was around 19h in the evening (GMT) which is consistent with what you say of 11-12 AM PST. The only difference was the day, he was posting on sunday I believe.
what day of the week were the 2 failed attempts posted on?
I'm trying to sense the pulse of the HN crowd, to see when we all slack off the most ;)
