We Are Nashville becomes the most supported Twibbon of all time

We Are Nashville has overtaken Breast Cancer Research as the most supported Twibbon EVER with an incredible 52,439 supporters.

The Twibbon broke the record between 1am and 2am CDT, and shows no signs of relenting in what has been an amazing campaign of support for those who were affected by the tragic flash floods that hit Nashville on May 3rd this year.

A huge round of applause is deserving for creator @ericshuff and all supporters for creating such massive awareness for their cause, and becoming only the 2nd Twibbon to break the magical 50,000 mark.

BBC 6 Music listener numbers surge thanks to massive online support

The campaign to save BBC radio station 6 Music is gathering serious pace after massive online support to keep the station open saw its listenership increase by almost 50%.

The popular cult channel was on the verge of extinction after BBC bosses decided to axe it as part of spending cuts announced in February.

But since then fans of 6 Music have rushed to its support - signing petitions and creating Twibbons to save their beloved station.

Our most popular 6 Music Twibbon - created by @bounder - has gathered an impressive 5,898 supporters. This is a truly excellent example of how an online grassroots campaign can affect the policy of even the mightiest of corporations.

Do you want to see 6 Music saved? Keep the pressure up on the BBC by supporting the campaign today!

Manchester City's supporters win the Twibbon Premier League

Manchester City have been declared champions of the Twibbon Premiership after pipping runners-up Arsenal by a mere 2 supporters. Congratulations to Twibbon creator MCFC.

Prem
The inaugural Twibbon Premiership was a closely fought contest throughout the season, with the lead changing hands no fewer than 5 times before a late surge by Manchester city supporters snatched the crown. This victory should help soothe some of the pain endured finishing a disappointing 5th place in the Barclays Premier League.

Meanwhile, Liverpool had a slightly more successful season online thanks to their fans, finishing a respectable 3rd. Premier League champions Chelsea finished 5th, as Bolton, Burnley and Wigan fans brought up the rear.

An incredible 8,802 supporters displayed their club's Premier League Twibbon with pride, with the top 6 sides representing a dominant 7,379 of those fans.

More incredibly, the final positions here at Twibbon reflected very closely that of the actual Premier League table. With the exception of West Ham who finished 10 spots above their real life placing, most teams kept within their classification as title contenders, Europe chasers, mid-table survivors, or relegation dogfighters.

Don't like where your team finished in the Twibbon Premier League? Unhappy about being in the relegation zone? Baffled by your 5th placed finish? Get involved and support your team by grabbing their Twibbon at the league table now. In the infamous words of Delia Smith, "Where are you????"

Here on Twibbon, the new season starts now!

JustGiving challenges charities to make the most of the social networking explosion
