      I don't get it - why would a company pay to get likes on their page that they know not to be real?

        I think the word you are looking is 'herd'...

          If I saw a page with 1 like, and a page with 1000 likes, I'm more likely to click like on the page with 1000.

              mmm... strange. I just use the decription if there is any, if not I briefly open both and stay in the one it seems better for me or whatever... But I usually fully ignore the likes. Within and out facebook. :omg: OMG I am an outsider X|

              M.D.V. ;) If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about? Help me to understand what I'm saying, and I'll explain it better to you Rating helpful answers is nice, but saying thanks can be even nicer.
