Ji Posted March 7, 2013 Share Posted March 7, 2013 How can they only have 28,000 likes? They should be up at 100,000 at least. How does DT have 41,000 likes and them only 28,000 in a metro area of 3,000,000 plus people Also, they are doing alot of joking around today which I am all for but Im sure OPM and those who lost millions from this bust arnt too happy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ji Posted March 7, 2013 Author Share Posted March 7, 2013 Maybe Jason and Ian can answer....I'm not sure how they dont have more likes than DT or JB2 is it because the post 9-12 times a day and it becomes overkill and dominates peoples newsfeed?

Ian Posted March 7, 2013 Share Posted March 7, 2013 Maybe Jason and Ian can answer....I'm not sure how they dont have more likes than DT or JB2 im sure being hype averse is part of the problem.. teenagers who are excited about every snow flurry have pages with 20k followers.

ravensrule Posted March 7, 2013 Share Posted March 7, 2013 Maybe Jason and Ian can answer....I'm not sure how they dont have more likes than DT or JB2 Anyone who hypes snow will have more likes, if they started hyping more they would get 100,000 likes in a matter of months. In the business they are in being right does not get you many fans, as long as you always over hype snow you will be sitting pretty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ji Posted March 7, 2013 Author Share Posted March 7, 2013 maybe they should spend more time focusing on 10 day storms...string people along for the ride like Jay Hatem Weather:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ji Posted March 7, 2013 Author Share Posted March 7, 2013 they are part of the only newspaper in town. Everyone knows the Post. They should have at least 100,000K followers if not more. Would really help the Post get page hits. Dont get how the clown from Chester has 41,000 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dont get how the clown from Chester has 41,000 FB has made it harder to get likes than it used to be.. the page is newer than some of the ones with huge numbers. Plus guys like DT and Berk use FB as a primary means of sharing info whereas it's more secondary for CWG. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kilton Posted March 7, 2013 Share Posted March 7, 2013 Wow, people actually care about FB likes? I follow about 20 blogs on various topics and I don't like a single one them on FB. Let's compare DT's page views to CWG's -- then we'll be talking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian Posted March 7, 2013 Share Posted March 7, 2013 DT is also not focused on one city.Could be part of it too tho CWG does a lot more national stuff these days. Plus we have 65k+ on Twitter. Berk has like 6k. To me the quality of folks on twitter is generally better. FB is all about quantity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MDstorm Posted March 7, 2013 Share Posted March 7, 2013 Maybe Jason and Ian can answer....I'm not sure how they dont have more likes than DT or JB2 CWG may need to turn up the cursing and hype in order to get more likes. Also using ***Alert*** more often may help. MDstorm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nj2va Posted March 8, 2013 Share Posted March 8, 2013 is it because the post 9-12 times a day and it becomes overkill and dominates peoples newsfeed? On a sunny day thats 71 you only need one post I "de-liked" CWG on Facebook because their updates were over the top. I counted 8 one day last summer when it was in the upper 80s. Overkill.

ThePhotoGuy Posted March 8, 2013 Share Posted March 8, 2013 I like CWG but naming storms and sometimes posting way to much is a drawback on the great resource that they provide. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mattie g Posted March 8, 2013 Share Posted March 8, 2013 As pretty much all other weenies in the DC area, I really like CWG, but I'm not totally thrilled with the direction they seem to be heading in. And naming storms is lame. So, so lame. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WNash Posted March 8, 2013 Share Posted March 8, 2013 And naming storms is lame. So, so lame. I hate it too, but it's an SEO/social media thing. Blame twitter. I'm afraid it's here to stay. CWG's names are bad, but the TWC nomenclature is even worse. And applied arbitrarily. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
