Great article!

I'd imagine well-written, popular articles have long tails -- they continue accumulating likes months or years after they are written.

It seems like the time of day matters less for the long-tail likes, as opposed to the initial burst of likes... although maybe time of day could be a catalyst (if the right people are skimming the recent articles and sharing with their social media for example, then time of day could be the difference between a long tail and no tail).
