Opera has some of the most active fans on Facebook

July 12, 2012 · by Espen André Øverdahl

Conversocial is a service that gives you the opportunity to compare how active your fans are on Facebook. We compared our page to Google Chrome, Firefox and Internet Explorer:

As you can see, Opera scores high. For every 1,000 fans on our page 1 fan will interact with the content we share such as photos, links, text and video. Our competitors have a much larger audience, and you would think their score would be higher, but it turns out that our smaller crowd is generating more activity, so kudos to you!

We're proud to have such an active and passionate community of fans. Thanks for supporting us on Facebook, Twitter and here on My Opera!

Facebook has become such a sensitive word after the buyout rumors. I cringe when I read Opera and Facebook in the same paragraph.

That's not accurate since it's interactions per 1000 fans. More fans doesn't suggest more interactions per fan.

Started using Opera well over 10 years ago (with IBM OS warp 3.x) OPERA version 3.62 I think! Don't know how much longer though with the worsening "not responding" freezes Ah, the good old days!

"interact with the content we share such as photos, links, text and video. " is that all people do on Facebook? Very strange never quite got that Place.

Personally I Perfer wandering around MyOpera.com . The Quality of Content far more happy.

But happy to here the Opera Camp site is working.

opera is user friendly,unlike Facebook who is a law unto itself,didn't know internet explorer was still breathing,amazing. i find it odd that opera is advertising Facebook on every opera user page,i thought that coming to opera would rid me of that Facebook once and for all,seems opera is doing its upmost to get us all on there ,very strange..

why is opera promoting Facebook?incredible that a social network is promoting and asking users to go to another network,cannot believe it.Maybe Dell should tell it's customers to buy apple computers.

Time to unclick the "Campaign banner" box in your sidebar.

The way I see it is, Opera thinks it's in the "Hand held device business." I finally joined Facebook to take part in Opera activities. When I comment on Opera in Facebook they keep asking for my mobile phone or credit card numbers.

Dont let Facebook buy Opera!

who's buying who? I dont care...I love My Opera...

It just creeps me out every time I see Facebook ads in here.

This is another nail in the coffin of speculations about the buyout.
KYLETuesday, July 17, 2012 7:21:29 AM
if someone asked me for my credit card details,i would immediately think of SPAM,and next in line for a rip off,i find that amazing practice by Facebook,and very concerning.If i had no other reason to dump Facebook,then that would be it,but there are many reasons.
@victor valera/you should be worried if they want your credit card details..
I have said to users on my blogs time after time"never give your phone number out on the web"and to ask for credit card details this is beyond my thinking..
I think nthat Facebook is in big trouble,since it was floated on the stockmarket it has not made anything like the money first thought,indeed many are not buying shares at all,maybe they want to purchase opera to enhance the mobile phone market share,seems likely.

This link is the biggest hint yet that Facebook is to aquire opera software,,,http://hexus.net/business/news/internet/39953-is-facebook-acquire-opera-software/

i think by now opera should either put the rumours to bed,or tell exactly their position,but maybe telling would compromise any Facebook bid,,who knows.

I agree 100% with what you said. It's been almost three months already with these rumors. We need an official statement on this site about what's going on.
KYLETuesday, July 17, 2012 2:57:51 PM
yes,the thing is,if opera came out now and said they were interested in any Facebook bid,,then face book would lower the bid,and see how much opera really wanted to be taken over.
KYLEWednesday, July 18, 2012 6:19:24 AM
seems the advertising is not just on Facebook,,
