Not just out of my own curiosity (I love numbers) I wanted to dig a bit deeper into Sanford365’s Facebook statistics. I wanted to learn more about what our readers like and like to share. Of course, there is a much more detailed analysis to things and we will soon start a reader survey too, but I wanted to share just a glimpse of what Facebook has told me…
