Thanks Geoff, The idea of We All Shout is that friends and family of your business/ startup support your business. in this case your friends and family are happy to spread on a message for you (well i know mine are). The 276 supporters of We All Shout itself, was simply done to show how things worked and the power of the system.
As for spamming, only 1 msg every 7 days is permitted for this very reason. Its strange how people are happy to be bombarded by 7 unsolicited ads on their facebook profile every time they long on or refresh the page, but are not open to 1 message every 7 days from someone who is only 1 degree of separation away from one of their friends. Thank you for the feedback, it is very valuable.
