The &ldquo;formula&rdquo; created by the social network allows understanding the level of interaction with readers, generated by every post published. Boscaro&rsquo;s provocation, essentially made to journalists and bloggers, had a clear answer. &ldquo;According to <b>Audiweb<\/b> figures, we increasingly access the Web with smartphones and tablets. About <b>28 million<\/b> Italians access the Internet every day, and 26 million of them have Facebook accounts. So, if we work with social networks, it&rsquo;s necessary to <b>become data analysts<\/b>, to know how to interpret the facts that receive a greater response from our <i>likers<\/i> and to follow it,&rdquo; Boscaro added.<o:p><\/o:p><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"text-align:justify\"><span lang=\"EN-GB\" style=\"font-family:&quot;Arial&quot;,&quot;sans-serif&quot;\">According to Boscaro, being able to interpret the statistics of our posts allows us to see when our readers connect, and what they read, share and like.<o:p><\/o:p><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"text-align:justify\"><span lang=\"EN-GB\" style=\"font-family:&quot;Arial&quot;,&quot;sans-serif&quot;\">&ldquo;When we write on Facebook, we don&#8217;t do it for ourselves, but to get a &ldquo;Like&rdquo; for, or to share a comment. This shouldn&rsquo;t lead us to adopt incorrect behaviours towards the reader.&rdquo; We should avoid <b>&ldquo;soliciting readers&rdquo;<\/b> with spy-posts like &ldquo;Click here to discover more&rdquo;. &ldquo;In the long run, these approaches can create <i>negative feedback<\/i> from our readers, who will remove us from their favourites.&rdquo;<o:p><\/o:p><\/span><\/p>\n<p
