I like it on the Floor

How Women Are Using Facebook to Support Breast Cancer Awareness in October

Randa Morris
Throughout the month of October women are encouraged to tell the world how they like it, by updating their facebook status. Before jumping to conclusions about what all this liking is really about though, it might be helpful to know that the question is more innocent than the answers might sound. "Where do you like to put your purse or handbag?" By posting an answer on their facebook page, women around the US are raising interest in the subject of breast cancer awareness.

The plan for raising awareness seems to be working. On October 5, 2010 the top internet searches incuded terms such as "i like it", "i like it on the floor" and "i like it on the table." In fact, as of midnight on October 6, the words "i like it" were included in half of the top searches on the biggest search engines in the world. With so many people searching to find out just what the i like it statements are all about, it can only follow that more and more people are becoming aware of the fact that October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month.

Now that you know what the facebook trend is all about, update your facebook status, and tell the world how you like it.
