In fact, it would seem they are only at the top of the news feed for a millisecond before being trumped by the latest cat video or restaurant-booking app. Worse yet, your followers and connections most likely check their accounts randomly, not every time you happen to post an update.  It is a miracle that your updates are seen by anyone at all.
