This is cool. How many sampled tweets did HN links appear in? How many sampled tweets did you have overall?

I'm curious if a sampling error could explain why an English website like HN would get placed with the Japanese language sites. StackOverflow isn't placed by any related sites either.

If the weird results aren't from sampling artifacts, my best guess is that a lot of spambots must be linking to multiple legit sites regardless of relevance.
