Well he did do the Patrick Stewart check and a cocktail thing instead of dumping ice water on his head for the ALS ice bucket challenge. Maybe he wrote it after that.

I highly, highly doubt BA is mandating ANYTHING as far as posts per day/week/month/year.
What I do think may be the case is: some sort of internal, subconscious competition between bloggers. I.E. Blogger #1 thinks to himself: "OMAAT posts X times per day. If I want space on the Front Page of BA, I better get posting!"...then, Blogger #2 does the same, and so forth.
When one blogger sees another constantly on the front page of BA, I can't help but to think their reaction is: "better start posting!!"

It's interesting that you say that no one looks at the main page. I notice when I watch my real time analytics that my page hits get a huge spike when my post hits the BA main page. It lasts for about 20 minutes and then settles into a normal 'pulse' of hits. With the BA site, it scans and imports a new post ever 20 minutes I believe. so there are times that my post hits twitter etc, immediately, but the page spike doesnt happen until it is shows on BA.com at some point later.

Those headlines drive clicks. I hate them and generally don't use them, but they do work.

I only ever look at the home page of BA. Ric and Gary are the only people I read by default and have bookmarked. A post does not exist to me if it is not on there!

Is there a feature where one can reduce the size of the boxes or get just a list of headlines? Particularly on mobile devices?
