Why Facebook matters

Stephen_colbert_facebookWant to know how fast a group on Facebook takes off? How about zero to a million in 10 days? My 'groups' section currently exhibits a set-up called '1,000,000 Strong For Stephen T Colbert' (the US political satirist). Here are the stats of its membership figures:

Your on-line shopping article in the Sunday Business Post on 25/11/07 was very poorly researched.
You are obviously getting backhanders for mentioning the same businesses all the time in a few of the categories. There are a lot of new on-line businesses in most of the categories mentioned and from doing my own research into each one you are not looking at any new websites at all.

Why haven't you answered this (fair) question?
