According to Facebook, Vancouver Island doesn’t exist?
Posted on August 22nd, 2007 by Roland Lewis
Facebook is one of the world’s most popular websites, but good luck finding Vancouver Island or Victoria on it.
But as the social networking phenomenon known as Facebook balloons — now with more than 27 million members — local users say they’re annoyed they can’t register as living on Vancouver Island.
There’s Wenatchee, Wash., and Kalamazoo, Mich. Or — if you can find a computer with a reliable Internet connection in one of Earth’s poorest countries — there’s even Malawi, East Africa.
More than 11,000 Islanders have joined a petition group urging Facebook to create a Vancouver Island “network” that would unite them with a specific online identity.
