Online, in print and on TV, Consumerist's Facebook terms of service change story, and the ensuing global uproar, has spread like Ebola in a monkey house...

750+ articles have been written about it so far in places like, New York Times, NPR, AP, Reuters, USA Today, SF Gate, AJC, Chicago Tribune, ZDNET, CNET, and NBC.

Plus mentions on CNN, MSNBC, Sky News, and others, and two days after we broke the story, it's still one of the most talked about subjects on Twitter, and over 64,000 users have joined a Facebook group protesting the terms of service change, plus 6,000+ Diggs, 528,000+ pageviews and 350+ comments on the original post...

...all this because of one tip, sent in by one reader, to tips@consumerist.com... However powerful this blog is, it's because of you, and for you, Consumerist readers.
