We can bouce hearts back and forth all day!

There's a one hour delay after sending a heart before you can send another one.

There's another way to look at it.

Lets say you and I agree that we want to send each other as many hearts as possible.  There's a couple of ways to do that.  The first is simple, just send hearts out to everyone every hour.  If we're both doing that, we get hearts from each other about every hour and a few minutes.

But with over 200 people in our friends lists, that takes too much time.  Especially when the return from sending 200 hearts out is only about 30-50 % depending on the time of day.

What we want to do is create a chain of hearts back and forth between us and as many others as possible, with everyone involved waiting to claim the hearts that come in.

Here's how it works over a couple of hours:
00:00 you get a heart from me
00:35 you claim that heart from me that came in at 00:00.  I get a heart from you because you haven't sent me one yet.
01:10 I claim the heart you sent me at 00:35.  Notice that its been over an hour since I sent you the original heart, so you automatically get a heart back
01:45 you claim the second heart from me.  Since the last time you sent a heart to me was 00:35, and that's more than an hour ago, I automatically get a heart from you.
02:20 I claim the heart that came in at 01:45 and you get a heart at 2:2002:55 you claim the heart I sent at 2:20 and I get a heart at 2:55
03:30 I claim the heart you sent at 2:25 and you get a heart back.
and so on..

We could keep this up all day.

The more people doing this the better for all of us.  Advantage:  we're only sending hearts to people who will claim them within the hour.

I'll write more about this next time under the title "Priming the Pump"
