When to post photos?

So, as an unofficial photographer for a fair amount of people, I end up postig photos a lot. Not only do I run into the predicament of wanting to post to Flickr and not waste my time with tagging crappy res. facebook photos, but also when to post. Some of it comes down to when I have time, and if I am busy, it ain't getting posted right away. But, I think I see some advantage in waiting and letting the memories of the images and event float back rather than posting the same night, absorbing, and then moving on. I love photos so much because they carry such weight in the memory department.

So, the question is, when do you post photos? Do you think there is a good lead time to wait before posting? Do pictures lose their staying power when posted quickly and forgotten about? Does it do a disservice to people if you don't post pictures quickly because they can't build on the momentum of the event?

Thoughts?

Honestly, I never know when to post. I think typically early evening/afternoonish typically gets the most people viewing. I know when I'd post late at night I'd rarely get views or comments.

Also, batch postings will almost never get looked at from what I've noticed. Unless it's specifically for people, then yeah they'd look through it for sure.

I'm thinking I'm going to do my View Camera project on flickr 1 at a time. We'll see about that though, I may just wanna get it up and loaded.
