Top 3: Folks are sprinkling our stories everywhere

A column from Patchogue-Medford superintendent Michael Hynes topped 2,000 shares last week on greaterpatchogue.com. That was good for No. 2 all-time.

Actually, our Top 3 posts from last week alone saw more than 4,000 combined shares.

See below for social media from last week and all-time.

* Twitter has now stopped tracking sharing figures on web posts, so those numbers are unknown.
