2. Who are these ‘likers’?
According to Facebook:
‘ People who click the Facebook Like button are more engaged,
active and connected than the average Facebook user. The
average “liker” has 2.4x the amount of friends than that of a
typical Facebook user. They are also more interested in
exploring content they discover on Facebook -- they click on 5.3x
more links to external sites than the typical Facebook user.’
Confused?? It is not all that complicated
Facebook likers are people who tend to be more informed,
interested in knowing about stuff and willing to increase their
social circle. Businesses exploit this behavior of users for their
benefit.
