- Go to http://www.odu.edu/ao/news/index.php?todo=details&id=20610 and read the news “ODU student’s facebook campaign causes bank to reverse fee policy.”
- Read two follow-up stories by the Huffington Post at http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2010/01/29/transaction-fee-on-haiti_n_442462.html#postComment and http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2010/02/02/facebook-page-pressures-w_n_446677.html.
- Take a look at the comments on the news as well as the news story.
- If you have a Facebook ID, you can refer to a Facebook page called "Wachovia=Fail" which Lynn initiated to protest Wachovia.
Lynn created “Wachovia=Fail” as a Facebook page for the first stage known as “sharing.” This is the most minimal of all 3 stages, meaning it releases the least information. The second stage is “cooperation.” As people join the Facebook page, comment, and interact, this creates the second stage. Finally the third stage is “collective action.” People began moving their money out of Wachovia, just like Lynn did, creating this last step.
