The power of Facebook is amazing!!!
After I blogged on this, I sent a message to "Penang" and "Jit Sin High School" group in Facebook, asking them to vote for Penang.
In Penang mailing list, there were 4,000+ Penangites and 1,000+ at Jit Sin mailing lists. So, there were 4k-5k fanatic Penangites there.
And within 90 minutes, Penang is now ranked 13th, up from 33rd. That's fantastic. I was seeing how Penang climbed up from 33rd to 20+ to now 13th.
Lets hope that Penang can sustain and be top!
And within 24 hours, Penang is now no. 2!!!
