Wow. That seems like a lot. Agree? Disagree?

  1. I disagree…considering the Mic­ro­soft net­work on Face­book has 16,387 mem­bers, I’d have thought a few more should’ve sig­ned up…

    I’d call it a damn good start. How many are insiders?

    it’s pro­bably just about right, given the nature of what it is, and the type of peo­ple you get on face­book. I’ve got about 145 friends on there at the moment, you’re the only one i’ve never met in real life. I know for fact the other 144 wouldn’t know what the blue mons­ter is, i put that i work in the social media in my pro­file and they ask me what that is fairly regularly…so yeah, i’d say it’s a pretty decent amount

    It depends– are those Mic­ro­soft emplo­yees, gaping­void rea­ders such as myself who got their face­book account when they were in school, older Hugh rea­ders.…?
    I would also look at the growth curve.

  5. I think it’s pretty good for just over a week or so…what would be use­ful it to see who the newest joi­ners are and even more use­ful to get them to add a few wee words about why they joi­ned.
    i agree it’s small beer com­pa­red to the Mic­ro­soft net­work but I have plans to get more of them onboard :)

    Key ques­tion: what’s your ave­rage rea­dership? What’s the pro­por­tion of readers:fcbk group mem­bers?
    If you have anything, say, less than 1000 rea­ders, then that’s pretty good. More than that, then no, not really.
