Thinking further, the author did not follow one of his own rules which is not to post your better posts on a weekend. However as a guest author perhaps it wasn’t his decision. :)
Watch it with the mr, jansie. It’s Barry. :)
I guess it’s real cool when an item can get to 27 sphinns without going hot, but something seems to be wrong. Perhaps a mod can signal that this one is ready to leave the oven. :)
Up to 29 sphinns. This is getting damn entertaining! :)
I’ll see your 29 nowsourcing and raise you 5 - saw your sphinn post on twitter, Brian do I hear 35?
thanks for the Sphinns folks - it was a great guest post, glad others enjoyed it too.
Weird... how long does a submission have to go hot these days?
Anyone ever see the movie Vanilla Sky?Tech Support!
I’m torn ... as a mod, I can push this hot. But sometimes diagnosing a problem means leaving it intact, y’know? I’ll send an email.....
Considering there is 4 day old stuff on the hot page maybe it would be a good idea to actually have stuff that is hot go on there....:)
This really is rather fun. It’s a new form of marketing. It’s called Stealth Sphinning. How high can it go before it burns up in flames. :) Now 38 and counting. .. on further thought, why not just leave it. Hot is sometimes over-rated.
Hi All - Dropping a note here to explain the problem with this one going Hot. We have a 2 day (48 hour) window from submission time to when a post can go Hot. This post was submitted (per the db timestamp) at 6:42am on 4/12. As of that same time this morning, there were only 16 sphinns. Sphinn number 17 came in at 12:37 pm and the other 20 followed thereafter. If an item has not gone hot within 48 hours of submission, regardless of number of sphinns, it never will, without moderator intervention. The real problem is that items seem to be still displaying on the What’s New page up to 3 days (disappearing at precisely 72 hours from the submission time). I’m going to look into that and correct it so that submissions disappear at 48 hours, and that should help end the confusion. edit: When I say "disappear" - that doesn’t mean the posts are discarded or removed, they simply fall off the "What’s New" page. They can still be accessed directly, or via the Greatest Hits page.
Thought that the time factor was the reason :)
Thanks for the explanation, Michelle. This gives even greater weight to one of the rules in the item on not posting items during the weekend. If the 48 hours starts on a Saturday morning, then the only chance for it to go hot is to have an A-list personality attached to it in some way. The other item I posted about Aaron Wall had no trouble going hot well within the weekend. Perhaps Saturday and Sunday should only count as half-days in this calculation, since probably more than half the audience is missing. :)
Great post!
back to the topic of the post.......... ;)Good list, mostly common sense though I would have thought. But then, common sense isn’t that common in webland ;)
