One aspect that CNN might want to rethink is the inclusion of “Total Comments” for each news item. The Most Popular News Sites on YouTube Google Living Stories – Just Snazzy Topic Pages or is Google onto Something? How “popularity” is determined is not specifically defined, but it is likely a simple metric like page views.

As of today the Colts’ official Facebook page has 249,481 fans and their wall posts are getting a good amount of “likes” and comments. But from what I can see, and I searched with both Facebook and Google, the Saints do not have an official page. What Horrible Things Did Time Magazine Do in 1964?

In looking at recent posts of the day, most are getting more than 2,000 “likes” and a considerable number of comments: If there are 10,000 active fans daily you would think they’d all be “liking” the post of the day since that is primarily what is driving the repeat visits. But 2,000+ likes per wall post is impressive. Apparently it does.

While the Tigers fan page has 248k+ fans, as of today the only page Facebook search shows for “Detroit Tigers” is an unofficial, outdated page with 841 fans: Even clicking “See More Results” doesn’t surface the real page – I had to use Google to find it.
