In 2012, I posted at least 100 pictures from Taiwan on my taiwanreporter Facebook page. Some of them proved to be very popular and were shared and re-shared by a lot of readers. Time to announce my very own 2012 Taiwan Hall of Fame!
So how do you measure a post’s popularity on Facebook? In the Page Insights section, Facebook offers the following criteria:
- Reach
- Engaged Users
- Talking About This
- Virality
Ordering my 2012 pictures by these criteria, they all produced slightly different results. I decided to go with Talking About This. Facebook defines it as:
The number of unique people who have created a story from your Page posts. Stories are created when someone likes, comments on or shares your post.
In my case, for 2012 this number ranges from 1,509 (most popular photo) to 243 (10th most popular photo).
