Mashable recently revealed its list of the Top 10 Most Influential People on Facebook. As a social media buff, I was super curious to find out more about the most followed Facebook pages and people and was pretty surprised by some of the names that made the list – check out a quick recap below.
Top 10 Most Influential People on Facebook
- George Takei, one of Facebook’s biggest critics is also a total funny man.
- President Barack Obama has had tremendous social media success and it all started with Facebook. He currently has more than 34 million likes!
- Judges, yep – judges. 2012 pulled Facebook through a bunch of court cases and judges became pretty influential for the social network.
- Richard Metzger, the face of the anti-Promoted Facebook Posts crusade.
- God. Believe it or not, the biggest name on Facebook is Jesus.
- Shahien Dada was arrested on Nov. 19 for violating Section 66A of India’s Information Technology Act for making a political statement on Facebook.
- Mike Huckabee, Arkansas’s former Govenor holds a lot of sway on Facebook. (think Chik-fil-A)
- Party People. If you held a party sometime in the past year and made a Facebook event for it, your party probably made Facebook news.
- Police Officers. It’s true – police officers are some of the most talked about folks on Facebook.
- You! Thanks to all of the Facebook users out there, Facebook crossed the one-billion line in 2012.
