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.

Liberate Media invested the time to really understand our business at the
outset and have a genuine interest in our goals. We were attracted to them
initially because of their experience and knowledge of the new media
industry - they truly are specialists in their field. Their methodical and
tenacious approach means that we always make the best possible use of PR.
