Network News Half-Life
Physics Web – Nothing groundbreaking, but something to know and think about –
Albert-László Barabási of the University of Notre Dame in the US and colleagues in Hungary have calculated that the number of people who read news stories on the web decays with time in a power law, and not exponentially as commonly thought.
The average half-life of a news item is just 36 hours, or one and a half days after it is released.
