An American woman may have just broken the record for the most comments on a Facebook post. While seeing thousands of comments on a public page is certainly nothing new, Cathy Matthews and 107 of her friends set out to eclipse the norm.
Together with a group of her friends, who spend a lot of their time playing Frontierville, a pioneer version of Farmville, Matthews decided to create a post that would earn her some recognition.
Matthew’s claim to fame is getting into the Guinness Book of Records by sitting in front of her Facebook profile and typing the same comment repeatedly on one post. She told Fox40 ”Once you get the rhythm, you can go pretty fast.” While there are some wordy comments on the post, a lot of them consist of just the word ‘go’, among other two-letter words.
The post has reached well over 1 million comments, and with just 107 of her friends participating, that means that on average, each person commented over 9,000 times on the post.
While it’s certainly not the same as an interesting or controversial post getting a million comments because it got people talking, it certainly takes a lot of dedication to get one Facebook post up to 1 million comments, vacuous or not.
Tracy Hodgson, one of Matthews’ friends has registered and submitted their achievement to the Guinness Book of Records and they are now waiting to hear if typing the word ‘go’ over and over again on Facebook for hours on end actually paid off.


















was not by me and cathy was by me and friend nattie, cathy simply helped, if was by cathy maybe she would have got the facts correct. and evidence has NOT been submitted yet, i did not post just 2 letter words, i read 3 books and talked of many things, i actually do not play frontierville, as contrary to what people seem to want to think from reading things like this, i have a life and have plenty to do with my time.though i do help in a group of people who do in my spare time.we did not do this to make a name for ourself but simply to show our group what we can do when we try together nothing more.

LikeI cannot believe TNW even bother to cover this. Pathetic time waste on her side. Get a life. It would make more sense if it genuinely was a "conversation". Typing one word? ..

With the same word go
They can't give that woman the record for typing same word over and over till 1Mil comments!! Cause its not a true comment if you ask me if you are commenting on your own post!!
Hope Guinness' standards are higher than this. But wow... The things we value...
Screen shot or it didn't happen.
Agreed. That doesn't seem legit.
They do THIS, and play Farmville, in their spare time. HOW MUCH TIME MUST THEY HAVE?
its called cheating..
