I am skeptical. Brick and mortar stores naturally have more followers, e.g. Burburry and Gucci. These are brands that people love, but really their Facebook pages are just PR platforms, rarely updated, and not that engaging. I really think there has to be a separate measure for well known brands and new brands.

Hi Dan!

An interesting case of internet coincidence as I've just blogged on the same issue, from a different perspective – the balance between the use of the first and second person when writing articles. Perhaps we could collaborate on this; the software I use allows written material to be broken down in a lot of different ways. I'm not going to spam your site with a direct link to the article; email me if you'd like to take this further
