If losing the presidential election wasnt enough, Mitt Romney has been hemorrhaging Facebook friends.
People began unliking Romneys official Facebook page soon after the election results came in last week. The Washington Post noticed the drop on Friday, when the GOP presidential candidates page was losing 593 likes an hour.
By Saturday, Mashable said the exodus was up to 847 friends an hour, and as of Monday morning, Romneys Facebook page continued to lose around 11 likes every minute.
For those who enjoy interactive graphics with their schadenfreude, the site DisappearingRomney.com shows Romneys Facebook likes dropping in real time. A ticker at the bottom of the page tallies how many people have unliked Romneys page just in the time users have been on the site.
Not that Romney is hurting for social media pals. As of Monday afternoon, he still had more than 12 million Facebook fans and 1.7 million followers on Twitter.
The former governors team hasnt been doing much on social media lately to persuade people to stick around. After a flurry of activity leading up to the election, his official Facebook and Twitter accounts went silent for four days afterward. One explanation is that the staffers who manage these accounts either move on or are typically given new responsibilities after an election.
