"Look what I found!"
When I scroled through my subscriptions on Facebook I came across this picture posted by Pete Cashmore:
Now what we see is a picture probably taken from the hotel where Pete stayed. It's a view everybody is acquinted with.
I nice view but in fact not really special.
Now take a look at the number of likes and comments!
That's right, 2186 people liked this! And even 318 took the trouble of adding a comment to it. At the time of writing this blog post the numbers are still rising.
The Comments
Now what will people add to this magnificent picture? Lets look:
Ok, the guy posts a picture, hey I do that too. But what's happening with al those people who want to add something? It's not about Pete and not about the people either. But what makes us 'like' a picture picture like this and even place a comment like "Wow!", "Where in FL?" etc.Let's get Social
Is this being social in a sense that people 'like' that Peter Cashmore is having a great time in Florida? Is it to get close to a social media guru and hope it rubs off? Is it for their SEO purposes? Am I being cynical?If I post a photo like that I will receive 1 maybe 2 likes, should I be worried? Would it worrie Pete if he would get only 1 or 2 likes? I don't know...
You tell me!
