Facebook Counted 43M Grammy-Related Likes, Comments Oh, And 26M Related To Super Bowl Ads Last Week

grammys facebook pageAfter this year's Super Bowl, there were a number of articles proclaiming that Twitter had "won" the event thanks to the general explosion in usage, as well as the prominent use of hashtags in many of the TV ads. But today Facebook is sharing some numbers its own and yes, it's still an enormous source of conversation around big events.The most recent data is around the Grammy Awards last night. Facebook says that there were a total of 43 million likes and comments made around Grammy-related content.

(If you want to an incredibly detailed breakdown of what people were actually talking about, you can read more here. And while I don't really see a way to directly compare the numbers, you can see some of Twitter's Grammy statistics here.)
