If you’re a reader of the VB Website, you might not have noticed the amount of comments that appeared on the VentnorBlog Facebook (FB) page from our 2,000+ FB Friends during the election count on Thursday.
For Facebook, the numbers of comments were pretty considerable, especially in the build up to the election, many Facebook users said they had no interest in seeing politics on Facebook (which we of course respected by not publishing our election build-up stories on there).
Over these thirteen entries there were 290 comments. Here’s a breakdown of the stories we put out on Facebook and their responses.
