I've been meaning to update my list of SL houseware brands with a large presence on Facebook, and seeing as we're close to the holidays, now seems like a perfect time: With almost 20,000 subscribers to the Facebook page, the long-running, much-admired Dutchie brand seems to be the largest on Facebook by far, (Official website here.)
Runners up include:
- What Next with almost 7000 subscribers
- Trompe Loeil also with nearly 7000
- Chez Moi Furnitures with nearly 4000
- 6º Republic Event with about 2500
Thanks to Caitlin Tobias and Nanda Marjeta for pointing out Dutchie and Chez Moi in the original thread! Next question is:
Are there others that should be on this top five list? Searching for SL brands on Facebook is pretty frustrating, partly because many of these brands don't even mention their association with Second Life. (Note to SL brands on Facebook: Put "Second Life" in your page description so you're easier to find!)
A quick walk though search shows these INWORLD group numbers so looking them up might be a starting place. I don't "Facebook".
15207 for LAQ decor
12551 for Zen Creations
8947 for Apple Fall
4107 for Dysfunctionality also know as [DDD]
3750 for Cheeky Pea
I couldn't find many inworld brands in your list under groups although I probably didn't have the exact name but Chez Moi had 2200 inworld as a comparison.

yeah agree with Chic Aeon majority do not use facebook, and facebook groups dont work well for SL. Quite a few big names not even listed here that have well over 20-50k in SL groups with customer base that could very well be hundreds of thousands if not millions and do very well and have great stuff
Zen Creations by Zhoie Zimermann, React by Akaesha Revnik, Inverse by Novocaine Islay, GW InfernosChill, Trompe Loeil by cory edo possibly a few more i missed that are all giants

The official Facebook page for SL has nearly 400,000 subscribers:
https://www.facebook.com/secondlife/
Given there's about 600,000 active SL users, it's likely *most* of them use Facebook at least to some degree.

@ romun
I didn't even CHECK groups that were not H and G (Home and Garden) as that was the list presented LOL. But yes, likely MANY others if you expand the search.
And @Wagner. Of all the RL folks that I know that are in SL daily NONE of them use or have a Facebook account. So your preferences may very NOT show the actual statistics. For me the SL group statistics are a better gauge.
