Most popular AFL and NRL teams on Facebook

This entry was posted by on Friday, 30 July, 2010 at

This list extends a bit beyond the AFL and NRL but not much.  The following list contains the total number of fans or members of a Facebook group or fanpage today.  All the official AFL and NRL club pages and accounts are included.  Beyond that, there are a number of other groups and clubs that I had looked at before.  Some of these are official accounts.  Some of them are not.  A number have been deleted after they were originally looked at.  This gives a bit of an idea of what I’m interested in.  It also gives an idea as to how successful official club pages are at capturing the majority of their audience or if fans are going elsewhere.  In some cases, it also gives an idea as to how successful anti-campaigns are at garnering attention.

    Just a diversion.

    These joke groups (Hi I'm Julia Gillard and I'm a politician jk…) are not new to Facebook.

    You may well remember the groups on Usenet: alt.muppets.spork.spork.spork (as an example).

    I find them interesting in terms of monitoring the anti-sentiment that's happening. :) And yeah, not new. They also tend to have a very short shelf life in terms of developing an audience.
