Posting In Advance
Wednesday, February 28, 2007
I’ve still yet to find the magic formula for acheiving optimal attendence at discussion events. I think it’s a combination of various factors plus a little random luck. Perhaps someday I’ll explore the factors here in this medium, but for the moment, I will say that in general it’s better to post your event earlier rather than later. As in: days in advance. And now there’s more reason to do so, apparently. Today the Lindens added a little note to the event listing page that reads: “[PLEASE NOTE: Posts should be made 24-48 hours in advance to help assure listing in-world]” Strikes me as bizarre that a post could take up to 48 hours to propagate in-world, but that’s okay. Doesn’t hurt to be early anyway. I guess this would explain why my event last week didn’t appear in in-world search! Happy listing, my fellow discussion nerds.
