Honestly, I think it depends what I'm posting when it comes to whether I care how many people "like" what I post on Facebook. If I post something that has real significance to me, then yeah, I would like to get a lot of "likes." However, for the most part, I could care less how many people "like" what I post. I'm posting something just to post it, not to see how many people I can get to like it. I do not keep track of my friend count. I don't understand how people can have 1000 friends on Facebook. I have no desire to be friends with people that I have only known for two days and know that I will never see again. And don't get me started on people who "friend" people they've never met- makes no sense! I do not have a "follow" group of people and I find it kind of creepy.
I think that majority of my students care very much about the number of people who "like" what they post. I have heard students discuss in my classroom how many likes they got and I've heard students get very upset about not getting a lot of likes. I think it's probably split down the middle when it comes to students keeping track of how many Facebook friends they have. I think its a numbers game for half of them and will friend anyone that they can.
