Facebook comments record broken by woman trying to do something ‘phenomenal’
Chris Spags Want to leave a legacy? Aim higher than Cathy Matthews, a woman who set a (unverified) record for the most Facebook comments on a single post.
If you think this is something 'phenomenal,' I want you to know that I hate you.
She told Sacramento’s FOX affiliate that she wanted to “leave [her] mark on the world.”
“I’m no spring chicken anymore and I really haven’t done anything phenomenal,” Matthews said.
Matthews, along with 106 other Facebook friends, sought to break the Guinness World Record for comments, set on a June 2011 post by an Italian man.
Matthews ended up with 1,001,291 responses to a single post, nearly doubling the previous record of 529,335.

Kudos to Matthews. Not only did this take a lot of effort — to achieve that number of comments, Matthews and her friends would had to have commented an average of almost 10,000 times each — but it set a second world record she wasn’t even aware of: Achieving the least phenomenal thing to ever be referred to as “phenomenal.” Good work.
