Last minute push for Wish advocates get high-tech

Proponents of various causes on the CBC Wish List project on Facebook are making a last push (surge?) to the finish line, and at least one group of Wishers have built an application to help increase the numbers.

People supporting liberal causes have developed this viral Facebook application which encourages people to vote for like-minded wishes and to add the app to their profile. Similarly, there is a group now called “Last minute push” which says “Let’s pull together progressives across Canada and make sure the anti-choicers don’t win.”

Scary stuff - DOJ has invested in FaceBook

Tod replies: Actually I did some research on the claims made in that video. Many, including the DOJ claim, just aren’t true. But people believe it because it looks professionally done. Don’t get taken in by everything you read on the ‘net.

Talk about labour of love - the App crashed repeatedly after being installed - two out of every three clicks. I’m assuming that it’s seeing heavy use.

I just can’t believe Tod used the word high-tech.

-- Philip Moscovitch

At least one of the wishes seems to have been somewhat rigged.
