Phew, what a 24 hours! The press office phone been ringing off the hook and Lighter Later has been featured by everyone from Mumsnet and MSN to the Scotsman, the Daily Mirror and on the front page of the Observer. We’ve also been rocking the airwaves on radio shows across the country, even managing a brief stint on the Andrew Marr Show.
Meanwhile, Lighter Later’s been going down an absolute storm online. The idea’s spreading like wildfire across Twitter (or “the tweetsphere” as one colleague insists on calling it) and our Facebook following is doubling by the hour. The best bit, however, is the incredible response from our new supporters, best summed up by Jake Bland on the Lighter Later Facebook page: “The more i think about it the more i think ‘why dont we do this already?!’ Its one of the rare occasions where a Facebook page/group seems like a good idea and/or is useful in some way. I fully support.”
All of this comes before we’ve even managed to get around to telling our own 60,000-strong 10:10 mailing list yet! We’re braced for serious chaos when the message goes out first thing tomorrow. Wish us luck!
