In November 2011 she switched to Facebook and her network grew even more. Of course the first fans were the ones she brought from her then very popular Hyve. After that it developed like a snowball. Due to the rapidly growing popularity of the Facebook page she was noticed on various forums. Links were placed to her fan page here and because of that the number of fans grew even faster. Most of her new fans come via the reference on the Action site or simply via friends of fans.
