The 25 most liked pages on Facebook surprised me when I stumbled upon it. While I currently lead a semi-active Facebook life, I joined back in the “olden days” where there was no news feed and you typed information in the About Me section with total freedom. (Did I also mention you had to walk uphill both ways before logging into Facebook?)
I was surprised when I looked at the longer Top Pages leaderboard list and saw mostly celebrities and music stars. A few other notable details:
- Texax Hold’em Poker eclipses everything else by more than two million likes. It’s both an online and real-life game so it would potentially have more “likes” than running or swimming because you can use Facebook to BOTH play the game and connect with others.
- Facebook is number two on the list. Isn’t being on Facebook enough to show that you like the company?
- The only movie (series) in the top 40 is Toy Story.
- The only food in the top 40 is Oreo. My guess is they must have done some kind of promotion to get this high because it doesn’t look like they do too many deals from their wall. But I could be wrong.
Two companies that I thought would be on the list were Coca-Cola and Starbucks. These two still make sense to me because they do a pretty good job keeping up with technology, social media and interacting with customers.
The only one I like in the top 25 is Disney, and I like them because they post random screenshots with quotes. I’m not in anyway obsessed with Disney movies, but it’s fun to have something different amongst friend updates and nonprofit organization updates (which make up most of what I see in my news feed).
Which of the top 25 do you “Like” and why? Or why not?
