Facebook question

[seoug_2005]

On the left side of our Facebook page, we constantly see a number like this -  5 talking about this ( just below the likes ).

Please have a look at  http://www.facebook.com/pages/UltraSEO/194716037239795

What does  "5 talking about this"  mean ?

Talking About This is the number of people who have created a story from your post. Stories include:

• Sharing, liking, or commenting on your post
• Answering a question
• Responding to an event

Hope this helps.

If i like or share my own post, will that count too

[NeilAnthony]

I am not sure; yet i don't think it will count if you are using same account to like your own post. The thing is I guess this has been created to measure how many other people find your post desirable, interesting, or perhaps controversial. hope this helps.

Agree, also only unique peoples counts. So if same user share 2 posts only 1 will count, but if 2 other different peoples comment on these shares, it will be 3 "talk about"  peoples

Here's a good in-depth post about this from a day or two ago.

If a person with 2 different facebook accounts likes the page, would that count as "one talking about this"
