Facebook Pages Show All Who's 'Talking About This'

You don’t have to administer a page on Facebook to see the newest metric for pages: the number of people talking about a page appears for both visitors and admins alike.

Displaying this metric for all to see could very well increase the amount of dialogue about already popular pages and topics — a phenomenon demonstrated by the recently added share button.

A possible downside to this: Less popular topics and pages might become more so if people can see on the page in question that a small number “are talking about this.”

It remains to be seen whether people who don’t administer pages will even notice the new metric, however.
