Believe it or not, our Facebook Group dedicated to finding 200,000 people by 2.12.09 to wish Darwin a Happy 200th Birthday is growing by 7.5 members per minute!
We just passed the 8,000 mark in members!! I think we're going to meet our goal of getting 10,000 members by the end of the day. Wow.
This Facebook Group was only launched a few days ago. Pretty crazy, I know. Here's a fun little chart that Phil put together to show our growth rate. It's the new member per minute growth from 2am to 2pm New York time today, 2.1.09, for the Darwin Birthday group.
The volunteers for our group--Team 200,000--had our first conference call today to discuss logistics and more ideas to get the word out, as well as thoughts about what we'll actually be able to do for our event on Darwin's Birthday. We're using and sharing Google Docs to keep up with it all. We'll see how that goes.
P.S. Did you know Darwin and Lincoln were born on the same day in the same year? February 12, 1809
