RE: As a rule of thumb, the optimal voting time is before 5 minutes
Interesting analysis! I suppose I "sort of knew" some of this, and experimented (manually) with the timing of front running certain bidbots, back when they were widely used.
The perfectly timed vote is really more of an art than a science, at least in the fine tuning of it. Each author, their major followers and the type of content witin their blog becomes a variable...
Exactly. In the end, the effective curator is trying to predict human behavior. That's always going to be challenging and error-prone. But, I think it's important to understand that we don't necessarily have to wait for the 5-minute mark in order to get good results.
