Update: The post received 80,027 comments in 24 hours.<\/em><\/p>\n

Greenpeace<\/a> has been pushing Facebook<\/a> continuously to “Unfriend Coal<\/a>,” as we’ve covered from time to time here on Planetsave. The last time I updated you<\/a>, last week, I mentioned that Greenpeace was going to attempt the World Record for the highest number of comments on a Facebook post<\/a> within a 24-hour period.<\/p>\n

Well, today is the day of the attempt, and the record has already been crushed. As I’m writing this, there are over 59,000 comments on the post. The target to break the record according to Guinness World Records was 50,000.<\/p>\n

Nonetheless, the day is not over and Greenpeace is pushing us to hit 100,000 comments now. If you have done so yet, do so here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Beyond the Internet<\/h3>\n

Beyond just stimulating an incomprehensible number of comments, Greenpeace is bring these comments to Facebook. It is “showing these comments in support of renewable energy on a large scrolling screen in front of Facebook’s headquarters.”<\/p>\n

How can Facebook ignore this?<\/p>\n

50 Top Commenters Will Win a Prize<\/h3>\n

Greenpeace announced that it would be choosing the 50 top commenters of the day based on “the number of comments they make, the number of friends they tag, and the quality of the comments” and give them each a ‘Facebook Unfriend Coal’ t-shirt<\/strong>. Think you’ve got what it takes to win?<\/p>\n
