Nice write up! I would assume in a large distributed back-end like facebook that notifications are not sent immediately and definitely not sent to everyone at the same time. This probably means that it is impossible to rely on them to get a first post comment.

Yes, I am sure you are right. It did seem like some people were able to compose well thought out responses in a very short time. Which most likely was due to them getting a head start thanks to an advanced notification.

    I highly doubt it. At least the meaningful ones that I saw. If they have automated systems that good, they probably would be very rich by now.
