I'm fairly certain this only applies if your post gets shared by a "hub." Do I have that right? Am I missing something?
it is like 4 degrees of Kevin bacon you always have a hub with-in a coupla shares. take you you are followed by thenewgreen huge hub and firehose you are also followed by me not as impressive but I am followed by newgreen and mk I have not analyzed the full graph as I do not have it but I suspect that no one is farther than 4 steps from mk.
Right, but my shares don't automatically get shared by the hubs. If thenewgreen sees but never shares me, then it won't reach everyone.
I guess my point is this; just because people see something doesn't mean they "share it". Here is a shot I took the other day of my posts: I can "share" something you post and it won't mean a damn thing if the posts aren't interesting to people. If I don't share it but it is good content, the chances are it will spread through the community anyways. Also, you've been on the site for less than a month and already have close to 100 followers. That's a lot, quickly (you post/share good stuff). I think that with time and as we change the architecture of the site and how people "discover" users, there will be more of an equilibrium.
Wow. That is a pretty convincing list of failed posts.
I don't know if thenewgreen has ever not shared something. :)
Check out my feed right now: I've only shared 5 out of the 14 posts shown. That's about 35%. If you look closely, you'll notice that I didn't share some that are extremely popular too. So there.
Who else is going to light the spark and fan the flames of the next great art movement?.... Napkin art.
Let me know when (if) you make it back out here. I want to have you participate in one of these. Think you'd be game?
sure although you know I have the voice of a dissipated Kermit the frog
