I'm a friend of Joe's and I read his blog so I posted this. I know some of the commenters - some of them were in the YCombinator program. If I knew you and you wrote a great post I'd probably be inclined to vote for you too and my comments might be a little more positive so that you're more likely to buy me a beer next time we run into each other.

I don't know the author of that blog at all, but I upvoted it because I thought it was a great article.
It looks like the blogger, the guy who posted the link (1 hour ago) and all the 8 commenters are based in the same town.(I also know that many of them know each other) Most of the commenters have karmas less than 25 and it is probably not unreasonable to assume that most of the 29 upvotes came from people who know these 8 commenters.
Nothing wrong with any of this, and no offense intended, but I often see posts asking how posts get to the front page. Well, for all of you, here is one example of how posts can get to the front page.
