(L)China – MSN becomes tool for Chinese demonstration
I got a msg from a colleague, telling me to add a heart China symbol to my MSN display status. I opened MSN and saw a flood of red hearts. The symbol can be added using the (L) tag.
Such viral campaigns are currently on a rampage, and if anything clearly illustrates the power of the Internet. Of course, ironically it is exactly because of this power a certain GFW exists – again calling for reflection in a time of mass media hysteria.
Update: multiple news websites are reporting that according to a MSN China spokesperson, 2-3 million MSN users have added this emoticon, making this indeed a very successful viral campaign.
