Liberate Media is going back in time today, way back to when the ‘Facebook is’ status option was not optional.

More than 160,000 users wanted to remove the ‘is’ status and even a Facebook group was created called “Petition to Get Rid of “is” from Facebook Status Update!”.

On the night of November 20th 2007 they got their wish: the ‘is’ in Facebook status updates was removed.

Have a look at the comedy video from crackle below that pays homage to the Facebook ‘is’ status. Be warned there is some strong language and content that may offend.

"I've worked with the Liberate Media team for a number of years, and have always been impressed with the knowledge and creative edge that they've brought to the iBAHN campaign.

“They have developed a deep understanding of our business and objectives, and consider our communications challenges with sound and well-informed reasoning.

“Most recently Liberate has encouraged us to embrace social media as part of our campaign, and have helped to demystify the radically different approach required to communicate in this environment.”



Graeme Powell, managing director EMEA, iBAHN
