Modern media is a funny old game. Can you imagine back in the 70s trying to get a campaign on the go to stop Gary Glitter or Slade getting to number one.
Thanks to Facebook someone has launched a campaign to get the early 90s angry rockers to number one ahead of Xfactor winner Joe.
To date they are making a decent stab at it. Although they probably will not manage it they have still managed to rattle Simon Cowell.
Just think what you would have had to do in the 70s - write a zillion letters, go on a Jarrow style march, print a million leaflets, write letters to every newspaper in the country, shout at passers by, etc. Even then it would amount to bot all!
Now if you get the mood of the zeitgeist right you are on to a winner. 500,000 plus followers on the facebook site - it really is amazing. Now all they need is to flog them something.
Newspapers have their facebooks sites and yet they don't seem to manage them or do anything with them to stimulate readership figures.
What they need is some young guns with some uber-knowledge - what ever that is.
