On Facebook about a year ago, Farouk Aregbe started a group called “One Million Strong for Obama.” When I spoke with him at Supernova in June, I believe he had gathered about 300k people.
Last week, someone called Raj Vachhani started One Million Strong for Stephen Colbert. Today, that group reached one million facebook members. An example of how strong a viral meme can perpetuate on a Social Network.
