The Love Flow


I've been running some experiments on the Facebook fanpage, "being IN LOVE" to measure interactions relative to the types of comments that I leave on the wall. Good stuff, fer sure.

First of all, the makeup of the 8100+ fans is:
  • 77% female
  • 59% female aged 13-24*
  • ~30% residing in the US
*Apparently, the kids in other countries are still on Facebook.

When I post something esoteric and positive about love on the wall, I easily get 20 likes and 30 comments (Facebook calls these "interactions") in a few hours. Most of them are people saying how much "in love" they are or how much they believe in love. It's quite fantastic to experience.

However, when I post something action focus, like visiting a blog or a twitter profile, I get very few interactions. Unfortunately, I can't see clicks nor have I taken the time to look at referral logs, but the uptick on blog follows/comments and Twitter followers doesn't increase much.

I invite you to try your own experiment and feel the love:
  1. Join the group (if you haven't already).
  2. Post something fun and loving on the wall, ask a question if you like.
  3. Feel the love flow to you!
ENJOY!

Thought mode...

Finished the fourth draft of my first book yesterday, which put me behind on some writing work that I've been doing for a client. So today, back to the writing-for-someone-else activity (which, since I love writing, ain't no big deal to me!) and this look while I contemplate what they really want to say...

Time for a haircut, yes or no?
