Facebook, a tool of change.
It would seem that some people have finally found a use for Facebook, as a tool of change.
What better way to start a partition or get your case out in the public than doing it where potentially millions of people will see it in a very short time?
That’s exactly what happened to Television New Zealand when they launched a new idea of using TXT styled language in their new promos for upcoming shows.
Some industrious person who didn’t like the idea started a group on Facebook called “I hate TV2’s new abbreviations”, it rapidly gained more than 6000 members and came to the attention of the bosses at the TV station. They said that along with the “dozens of emails and letters” has caused them to stop using the idea.
And so we see Facebook becoming the modern day equivalent of the old underground communications network.
