Great post. Short, straight to point and useful. Thanks for sharing your experience. Do you have any advice on how to get exposure on reddit? In other words do you think your karma helped, did you have friends who helped you promote the post up? Did you do anything specific besides posting the blog post? Thanks.

I actually submitted the launch post on reddit as an afterthought to the HN submission and was shocked when it was going better than the HN post. It kind of destroyed my preconceived notions of HN as the best launchpad and reddit as no-op on that front.

I had a couple friends I told about it and I'm sure they upvoted the submission, but I think really I did well because PushBullet is exciting to Android users and r/android is a hotbed of people looking for exciting things to do with the devices they know have a ton of potential.
