If there is one thing that I have learnt over the last couple of years about online publishing is that people love facts and figures and usually the bigger the better.
If you are a car fanatic you want to know its top speed and how quickly it accelerates. If you are a sports fan then you will be eager to know how many goals were scored or the number of touchdowns.
In the world of social media it is no different with my most popular article being a post titled, 50 Fascinating Facebook Facts and Figures. Apparently according to Guinness World Records, social media records are one of the most asked about records by their fans and readers.
So what are are the ‘Guinness World Records’ for the the fastest time to reach one million Twitter followers and who achieved the most likes on a Facebook page in 24 hours?
