About a month ago I posted a video and invited all me friends on Facebook to have a look at it. Some did. Then a few days later I began to feel not so hot and missed some postings. That actually corresponded with a greater increase in traffic. Here’s how it looks:
The first bump only lasted one day. But the next lasted long enough so you can get a sense of how fast interest declines. It looks like it takes four days to drop by 50 %, say 12 % a day or 88% survival from one day to the next. Where it but 25 % more, that would be 110% daily or 10 % growth daily. It that case, given sufficient starting size, it would grow until it had reached a significant proportion of the available pool of interest.
