This is also anecdotal but I think TechCrunch's "AngelGate" article was on the front page for almost 3 days.

  Maybe 'half life' is a better way to put it. Looking at the graphs, the score drops to ~1 in 5-10 hrs, unless the points are very high.

    I've wondered if there aren't some hands-on efforts (as in, non-automated) to keep particular stories on the front page.
