Theo Lamb and Darren Barefoot on the science of Facebook for non-profits

After reviewing 1,000 Facebook posts and updates from 20 non-profits with large followings on the site, Capulet‘s Theo Lamb and Darren Barefoot can report

  1. a) that it’s a really good idea to get other people to tally the metrics for 1,000 separate posts – something they achieved through Amazon’s Mechanical Turk; and
  2. people seem to just love simple, evocative text on top of a compelling image.

Actually, they can report a lot more than that… and they did, at last night’s NetTuesday meetup at downtown Vancouver’s W2 Media Cafe (a terrific space, by the way!)

Here’s my cartoon-blog post from the night…
