JUST 19 days after launch, the U.S. Embassy Guyana Public Affairs Facebook page registered its 1,000th fan.
Two weeks later, that had more than doubled to 2,125 fans.  The Facebook site has been active, with engaged and enthusiastic fans.  Demographically, members of the site tend to be young, according to a statement from the US Embassy in Georgetown.
In addition to those listed as having “liked” the Facebook page, there are nearly 8,000 active users on the site, the Embassy stated.
Today, the Guyana site ranks 11th among all U.S. Embassy fan pages in the Western Hemisphere. On a per capita basis, U.S. Embassy Guyana Public Affairs is second in the region.
