| Once upon a time there was a guy who went by Kibo who would search Usenet feeds for posts mentioning his username and reply to them... |

| ▲ | Cthulhu_ a day ago | parent | next [-] | | I bet Musk hacked something together (or has a column in TweetDeck if that's still around) that continuously searches for mentions. I wonder if there's a tool like that that covers more of the internet, although the primary users would only be famous people and/or their agents / social media staff. | | |

| From what I've seen, sometimes people see that their blog post got a lot of referral traffic from Hacker News and they come have a look to see where it came from. |

As I commented elsewhere, f5bot.com is a nice, free tool to monitor HN |

| Not who you're asking for, but generally I think it's just a case of the author also being an HN regular. Although, I suppose you could set up some Google Alerts for mentions of your blog posts. |
