A Facebook post by Tracey Hodgson and Cathy Matthews won the Guinness Book of World Record for having received a whopping 1 million comments. It does not, however, make much sense. The update in question was posted to an open Facebook group, called "Ffgpioneers/gwr/attempt," created exclusively to beat the commenting record. It reads:
Most of the comments are neither groundbreaking nor thought-provoking—emoticons, hearts, etcetera. "There were about 107 of us that participated," Matthews explained to KTXL-Sacramento. That means roughly each participant posted an average of 9,358 times to help break the record.
HuffPo notes, "the most comments on a single Facebook item" record was 529,335, according to Guinness World Records. Held by Roberto Esposito, that comparatively trite record was set on June 29, 2011.
