SRK as he's popularly known is a hot word on social media like Facebook where many of his fans have started either a group or a page to show their support for Shah Rukh amidst the current controversy. The same has been seen on the micro-blogging site Twitter where many people including well known celebrities are continuously tweeting about SRK.
Most of you would have seen some of your Facebook friends joining such groups and hence would already be knowing of such groups/ pages. In case you haven't seen any such group/ page, then here's some interesting statistics that I've got for you. I searched the following keywords on Facebook, and came up with the following results (as on February 6, 2010, 7pm IST):

Now, if we add up all the number of members/ fans, we get a whopping 11373 people! It's very likely that a person may be present on multiple groups/ pages, hence let's assume such cases would account to 50%, i.e. 5687 people are buzzing SRK on the social media! To add to it, the average number of friends one has on his Facebook profile is 130, hence at any moment of time, these group/ pages are being exposed to 739310 people! The real success of social media lies in the ability to expose the content, view, thought, etc to as many people as possible and what we see here is a classic case where apart from the regular fan and movie pages, SRK is buzzing for the ongoing controversy and the support from all quarters is pouring in! No wonder, he's King Khan who now has a huge online fan support base too! Post a comment on what's your take on SRK buzzing aloud and how did you find this post.
