In a month that brought us “Nerd New Year” on 11/11/11, your share-happy fingers found interest in stories about the year’s worst passwords, Starbucks’s interactive holiday cups and Adobe’s decision to cease production of its Flash Player.
Making a late run up Mashable‘s Top 25 Most-Shared Stories list for November, “Here’s How People Look at Your Facebook Profile — Literally” just missed breaking into the top 10 after just one day online.
Infographics about female gamers’ sex habits, poop-covered cellphones, Facebook users, Google Search and online-reputation management round out November’s eclectic list. Also ranking high are several viral videos — some of which were published as part of our YouTube Video of the Day series — about crying children, Notorious B.I.G., jetpacks, futuristic desks and $2 waffle makers.
Based on figures from Mashable Follow‘s M Share button, the following 25 stories got the most love, with all of them garnering about 300,000 combined shares on Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn and StumbleUpon.
