"Petition to Have ESPN Have Feeds of the University of Montana and Montana State University FCS Playoff Games"

Tuesday was about two hours old when John Sterrett of Missoula finished creating a "public event" page – called "Petition to Have ESPN Have Feeds of FCS Playoff Games" – on Facebook http://www.facebook.com/events/121290624649284/

He punched a button, and sent it out to his Facebook friends – all 400 or so of them.

Less than 36 hours later, the petition had spread across oceans, gathered more than 10,000 "signatures," and was in the hands – or at least available on computer screens – of more than 64,000 more Facebook users.
