How to Get More Likes, Shares on Facebook [INFOGRAPHIC] If you're looking to get better engagement out of your Facebook posts, add more pictures and start speaking in the first person. Social media data expert Dan Zarrella — who tracked and analyzed more than 1.3 million posts from the 10,000 most-Liked Facebook pages — has released details about which posts get the most likes, shares and comments on Facebook, from post type and length to the best time of day to add updates.
Photos bring in the highest number of engagement across the board, followed by text and video, according to Zarrella. News links bring in the least numbers of likes, shares and comments.

That’s because last week a criminal court judge denied Malcolm Harris’ motion to quash a subpoena that will allow Twitter to hand over his information to Manhattan prosecutors. Harris, a contributing editor to The New Inquiry, was one of the more than 700 people arrested on the Brooklyn Bridge during an Occupy protest on October 1. The prosecutors hope to disprove Harris’ and other protesters’ assertion that police led people in the crowd onto the roadway to arrest them for disrupting traffic.
