Facebook, Cape Town and the Monopoly Board

I am really not sure why but I freakin' want Cape Town to clean up this whole Monopoly Board thing.If you don't know what I am on about then let me briefly explain why I am writing this post. I was invited to join the Vote for Cape Town on the World Monopoly Board group on Facebook. I did, that was about two weeks or so ago.At that point there were under 100 people in the group and Cape Town was situated in the top gagillion for the Monopoly board. I then blogged the situation on SA Rocks and at the same time the Facebook group took off. Since I joined the group there have been more than 4000 people join and begin voting daily for Cape Town.The effect that this has had really impresses and astounds me. In fact it renews my opinion that Facebook can be a great place to rally and market around a product, point, belief etc etc.Cape Town has gone from nowhere to a peak of #8. We now site at a great #9 and will surely soon be climbing further. With over 4000 people voting daily for our success it is almost ensured at this point. With 25 days of voting left, if you haven't voted yet or haven't been voting all day I think it's best that you get started.In general I am absolutely blown away by the success that the Facebook group has had in such a short span. Let's hope that they can pick Cape Town up in to one of the top three spots. Then we'll be top on the Monopoly Board for a very long time to come.
