You should make this a weekly feature. A snapshot at a particular time doesn't show trends. You also failed to mention that aside from the Spinners, all the MLU teams have only been active on social media for a couple of months, compared to most of the AUDL teams that have been active for over a year. You should also compare the parent companies.
Thanks for putting this together! Very interesting stuff.
Dear Anonymous @ 12:23,
Agreed. This is merely a data snapshot. Just a week later, Spinners are now #1 in Fb Likes (4009) & twitter followers. Moreover, Fb & twitter does not give a totally complete picture of ALL social media [g+, YouTube, Pinterest, instagram].
Comparisons & trends over time are excellent suggestions...and, are works in progress. Sought to publish data as a starting point.
Why not list the 4 defunct AUDL teams also?
