At 6am Greenwich Mean Time (that’s in the the UK) an attempt at the world record for the most comments on an online news item in 24 hours began (ie this blog post). According to Guinness World Records® we need around 100k unique comments. That’s just over 1 comment a second! With your help we think we can whoop that.
This is also charity fund raiser for the Royal National Lifeboat Institution (RNLI) the UK. The level of funds raised is not associated with the number of comments and it doesn’t cost to leave a comment but if you want you can make donation by clicking on the big green “DONATE NOW!” button in the sidebar – the bigger the donation the better.
When you leave a comment you have the option to tweet it – please do so if you can as this will help to spread the word using the #comment24 hashtag.
To comply with the rules the comments must be at least 10 characters, a minimum of two words and not comprise solely of punctuation marks. Basically comments have to make sense. Happy commenting & let’s see if we can raise some cash for the RNLI.
Postscript – conclusion here
5,595 replies on “World record attempt for most comments on an online news item in 24 hours has started. #comment24 #RNLI”
This is the first comment – may it be the first of at least 100,000.
biggest inspiration of 2011 was the #b4rn project. JFDI is the way to do IT.
You can’t make it to 1000 comments also.
Good luck with this Tref. Great that the RNLI are going to benefit.
http://www.b4rn.org.uk is the inspirational site of the community building their own fibre network in the North of England.
Wishing everyone a happy 2012 and good luck Trefor I hope you raise a lot of money for the RNLI
Lets hope you make the record, I hope you do.
Good luck with this initiative Tref!
I have lots of sources of inspiration and its hard to choose. I’ve always found Julie Hawker (https://twitter.com/#!/cosmicjulie) an inspiration and her organisation Cosmic http://www.cosmic.org.uk/ have done some great things. So this time they are my choice.
Good luck and best wishes for 2012!
Good luck to everyone commenting today, lets hope we hold the record by the end of 24 hours and make pots of dosh for the RNLI too.

Pob Lwc Trefor. We are very much looking forward to another successful 2012 here at UES Energy. Hope all is well at Timico……Andrew
good luck tref, we’re all rooting for ya.
I don’t suppose we can do much about natural disasters, but could we do something about man made ones? What could we ban? bankers? Would the world crumble if they didn’t exist?
As a confirmed non-musician, I was inspired by the work of @GarethMalone. Hoping for motivation of more communities in 2012.
Steve Jobs was truly inspirational for me, unfortunately he will not be able to contribute any more.
good luck from all at b4rn, we love grassroots initiatives to make our world a better place, and although we work on dry land we support the brave people on the high seas.
What a great way to kick off 2012! Let’s test the tech to the tech to the limit today folks – be generous and donate!
Wish you all the best, the RNLI does an amazing job.
Have a great day. Keep pushing the technology out there. Great cause the RNLI.
Good Luck @Tref!
Good luck Tref. My inspiration as always is my wife – that’s what she tells me anyway!
Woof. Grrrreat idea.
I am an inspiration. I am also the first dog to comment. woof.
Is it ok for dogs to comment on human’s blogs? Do I care? all in a good cause so I will anyway.
Goodluck, great cause
Ha ha Callum, very good.
Best get my comment in about your #comment24 event before 9pm when it really starts to get busy 🙂 . Good luck Tref.
Good luck!
Morning all, let’s get arty started. Supporting a very worthy cause too!
Good luck
Good luck with the record and here’s hoping for huge support for the RNLI
Was hoping to bag myself comment number 24 on comment 24, oh well too late! Good luck Tref, a good start and a great cause!
Good luck with it all and I hope RNLI gets lots of money. Great charity. All the best for 2012. x
Good Luck with the world record attempt Tref and for supporting a very worthy cause.
Well done Tref… Best of luck with the challenge.
Let’s light up that fibre with words – let’s see it try see it buzz with comments! May the muses be with you today >> may your fingers fly across that keyboard with inspiration >> with words of wit and wisdom! And, while you’re at it >> direct all your sage thoughts to this page >> before six tomorrow morning!
I really hope you make it to at least 100,000 comments, I’m sure everyone at RNLI are very appreciative of all the help and effort been done on this!
Again I’d like to echo the good luck sentiment shared by the others below.
Got to shoot out soon but will try and come back with a more insightful post on the issues you mentioned in the blog post at some point.
Fantastic idea and a great charity to support
Good luck Tref and best wishes for 2012!
Good luck! I was told about this from think broadband so hopefully you’ll get a few guys and gals from there 🙂
I’m always inspired by those who volunteer there time to support worthy causes. #RNLI #comment24
Good luck on the world record attempt today. The RNLI is a great charity that would not exist without support like this!
One more comment on your journey…good luck 🙂
Let’s hope 2012 is the year the world picks its feet up and moves forward towards a sustainable future – sustainable economies and sustainable democracies.
Great cause, good luck.
Great cause, good luck with the record
Good luck with this, Tref.
The world is becoming more social by the day.
Good luck Tref.
Crazy idea – love it. All the best. #btot #comment24
Well done to all involved, the RNLI is a charity that really deserves support.
Yay – good cause and so pleased to see something like this in the UK. Good luck!
What a great, positive idea! just what I needed to raise a smile on a cold and blustery morning. Best of luck with it…I’ll be calling back later to see how you are getting on.
90 minutes in and under 50 comments, hope it picks up as people wake up.
Best of luck with this.
Hope everyone has a fab 2012
Excellent idea Tref and all credit to you and those donating to the RNLI. Fingers now suitably warmed up.
This record attempt has come on a bad day for 123-reg.co.uk – they’re my customer care inspiration for today – if you can’t do better than that, best just to give up.
I want no part in this!
WOOHOO – way to go – GOOD LUCK – what a great idea Lx
Best of luck. Hope the comments roll in!
Inspirational person has to be @cyberdoyle – wouldn’t have posted here without her!
Good Luck with record attempt!
Good luck!
Good luck Tref!
woof.
Good luck with the attempt! It’s a huge shame that the RNLI has to rely on charitable donations, but the work they do is wonderful!
Crumbs, Have we started? Do I comment on this post, or another one? Maybe I should have gotten up earlier in preparation for this auspicious day. Fingers to the ready … All the best to you Tref to get the record for RNLI x
I’ve promoted this as much as I can 🙂 fingers crossed!!
Cool marketing/tech/CSR and charity mash-up. And a great cause, too. Fingers crossed for the 100,000+ comments.
It just told me I was posting too quickly … honestly I was just posting as normal and pushing the submit button …
It just told me again “You are posting comments too quickly. Slow down.”
Long tail is long
It just told me “You are posting comments too quickly. Slow down.” Also my last comments don’t appear to be appearing
Good luck @Tref #comment24
Goof luck with the record attempt
Oh, no… they are… just at the top and not at the bottom like I was expecting. I am sure i will wake up soon. Morning all – Happy Thursday x
Pleased to be part of this, I feel like I have done something worthwhile today. Best of luck
woof. and thrice woof.
Maybe I should set my alarm and gotten up earlier … come on people … heave ho. PS it just told me I was posting too quickly again…
hope you reach your target. his page is gonna tai a helluva long time to scroll if you do !
On a cold winter’s night, with the storm at it’s height,
A lifeboat answers a call.
They pitched and they tossed, ’till we thought they were lost,
As we watched from the harbour wall.
‘Tho the night was pitch black, there was no turning back,
For someone was waiting out there,
And each volunteer had to live with his fear
As we joined in a silent prayer.
Certainly a good cause, let’s hope it can pick up some speed. Good luck!
I think that this is going to make a lot more sense if I write you the poem in reverse …
Yay for the RNLI and best of luck with this Tref.
Fabulous – love the poetry > @ Home from the Sea !
85th, my dream! Good luck, hope it picks up speed.
I think you need to put in a fair bit of effort to be inspired. It’s a matter of serendipity. ‘The harder I work the luckier I get’ kinda thing. That’s personal inspiration. But as for an organisation that inspires I absolutely agree on RNLI. Good luck with the challenge.
Great stuff, @Tref. Good luck achieving the world record and, as gale-force winds batter the UK, let’s hope you beat your target of raising £100,000 for RNLI.
Good luck, @Tref
I’m sorry to say I think we’re yet to see the worst. 2012 will be worse than 2011, the Euro, poverty, democratic upheaval and war. Let’s hope those in power see sense and hold back on the war front and focus on the economy and improving the lives of those they can help.
The RNLI is the charity that saves lives at sea. Funded by charitable donations, the lifeboat crews and lifeguards of the Royal National Lifeboat Institution have saved over 139000 lives at sea since 1824.
Why not visit the website to find out more: http://www.rnli.org.uk
You can do a lot in 24 hours with a good connection 😉
Its all quiet in the DC, we’re not working the servers hard enough, come one people get commenting! 😉
I commend this endeavour.
Regards &c
Howay the lads!
Good luck with record attempt and raising much needed funds for RNLI – they need all the help they can get to carry on with their vital service
Keep commenting and support the RNLI!
Good luck Tref. Happy to participate with a cause as worthy as the RNLI.
Heave ho… I think were just taking up anchor here. I think we need a few more people on the oars.
Going Back to Bed in accordance with my New Year’s Resolution inspired by the New Scientist:
If you need an excuse for spending more time in bed during the holidays, this could be it: too little sleep can make you fat. Bo found that the adults who became obese during her six-year study slept an average of about 6.3 hours a night, compared with about 7.2 hours for those who maintained a healthier body weight. The link between sleep and weight held even when her team took into account other important causes of obesity, such as low levels of physical activity. Rachael Taylor at the University of Otago, New Zealand, has found that children aged between 3 and 5 who sleep less than the average 11 hours a night are also more likely to be overweight or obese by the time they are 7 (BMJ, vol 342, p 2712).
Sleep deprivation reduces the secretion of leptin, a hormone that suppresses appetite, and increases levels of ghrelin, a hormone that stimulates appetite. “Or it could be as simple as less sleep means more time to eat,” says Taylor. Either way, an extra hour in bed sure beats going to the gym.

Love inspired initiatives. Hope thousands get behind this one and give #RNLI the support they deserve. #comment24
And shattered, and re-gathering their might;
The billows lengthening, mutually crossed
Here to elude and there surmount, they watch
Rivals in effort; and, alike intent
Each grasps an oar, and struggling on they go–
Together they put forth, Father and Child!
Meow.
Sources of inspiration? Hard to pin on one person: friends, family and colleagues; I’m a lucky man.
Good Luck
Great idea. Good luck. The RNLI is an excellent cause and also quite topical considering the weather! Hard to believe that this emergency service is manned completely by volunteers!
Inspiration? The unsung heroes who make a difference … people like the volunteers for the RNLI!
People who just get on with it, who think of others first! Who put others safety and well-being before their own …
Support the RNLI – great cause, great organisation
Did you know that if you click on the { xxx comments… read them below or add one } << "add one" link it whips you down the the comments box without the need to scroll. Just though I would mention that top tip I had for you all. Now get cracking and lets get going.
Great cause – good luck
2 hours on the go and just over 100 posts???
hope you have a great day 🙂
Time for a cup of tea
Oh come on!, people… wake up!!
Excellence in action. Well done everyone, keep it up.
Darren and JD – the rules state:
To comply with the rules the comments must be at least 10 characters, a minimum of two words.
So “Good Luck” and “Meow” I don’t think will count! I’ll whip you all into shape before the day is out. Now focus ….
Come on guys theres only 28 donations so far, much more needed and its so easy to do
great initiative Trefor. Great cause #RNLI Hope you reach the target
Quick comment to support tref . Good luck on the 100000.
Good start so far, but do spread the word, tell everyone, and lets be part of the new WORLD RECORD! #comment24
Fantastic idea, hope it pays off! Good luck.
So this will be 1/100,000th of a piece of history?
On a windy morning like this it seems entirely appropriate to spam for the RNLI!
Did you know that 90% of the world’s trade transits by sea? The RNLI helps make seafaring safer. Good luck, Trefor! #comment24
Go for it!
Volunteering at it’s best! Support the RNLI!
Good luck
Not first!
Great cause – good luck with the world record attempt!
Keep up the good work, RNLI. We support you.
Best of luck for the record attempt and thanks for supporting the @rnli #comment24
Which individual will make the biggest difference in 2012. I will have to have a think on that one. In the UK or in the world?
This is a great cause and a bit of fun for all those taking part. Good luck.
Nick & Godhammer – Again I will have to point out your comments will not count as they are not over the allotted word and character count.
I recall my Grandad’s charity being the RNLI, and as a wee boy putting pennies in the life size children like collection machines. Good luck, he’d have loved this.
Al E – Also “Go for it!” is under the 10 character requirement. I’ll just have to try to make up the numbers.
Fantastic cause, good luck!
Great idea – good luck!
Actually you might be ok there on that last one if spaces count for characters…
Happy New Year and hope you reach the target
you want ‘000’s of comments without mentioning Justin Beiber, Scientology or punctuation? Good luck!
and we thought Guinness had run out of records to beat. Good luck. The RNLI is a splendid organisation.
I don’t need inspiration, my wife sees to it that I do what’s needed! 🙂
Lets get this 100K in the bag folks 😉
Happy New Year to you all and good luck in breaking the record
People who go the extra mile … in rough seas!
People who are brave and courageous
Just remember, keep banging the rocks together guys.
Good luck.
people who venture into the unknown … without flinching
Good luck!
Great way to start the New Year. Good luck on achieving the record and raising the money. This week’s storms highlight how important the RNLI is to the UK.
A worthy cause and great idea for awareness
Agree with Aardmaan, people who go the extra mile…
Good luck! #comment24
Good luck with the record attempt, with family that have always enjoyed sailing, really appreciate the work RNLI volunteers do
Great idea! Will repost on Facebook to try to drum up more support. Hope you get the record!
People who truly care
People of integrity
A fine idea. Good luck.
Good luck Tref! great cause
Good Luck !
All the best for charity fund raiser #comment24
Fine people doing extraordinary work in all weathers.

Well done. Let’s make this happen. We all with you.
Good Luck
Great way to start 2012. The men and women of the RNLI risk their lives for others, keep up the good work #RNLI, you are much appreciated. Nice one Tref #comment24
Hi! hope you have plenty of comments
Good luck
I’m already spamming folks on IRC and my wife all her colleagues at work! 😀
Well if @abigailh is involved how could I *not* leave a message?
Well, that and the fact that I am a shameless self-promoter.
Good luck!
175th! Hmm… not quite the same ring as “first”, is it?
Good luck with the record attempt and the new datacentre Tref!
Good Luck!
Great idea to raise money for a worthy cause.
Good luck Tref!
Going to enjoy reading about the tech behind this attempt.
I’m inspired by the possibilities the self-organised future is opening up. RNLI close to my family’s heart.
I’m not leaving a message here…no I’m not……
Well done Tref, a great cause !! Good Luck… #comment24
Best wishes, good to start 2012 with a new record. Good luck.

Best wishes for breaking the record from Donaghadee on the County Down coast.
Brill Idea!!!!
Go on Tref..
An excellent idea. RNLI is a super choice and I hope you reach your target. My inspiration: my friend Tracey who survived Cancer at 25 and lives life to the full 15 years on.
Fantastic idea … Good luck.

Off to a good start. Good luck Trefor!
Good luck!
To comply with the rules the comments must be at least 10 characters, a minimum of two words and not comprise solely of punctuation marks. You can make more than one comment but not so many it looks as if you are a machine. Basically comments have to make sense. Happy commenting & let’s see if we can raise £100k for the RNLI.
Brilliant idea and a worthy cause, good luck in achieving both targets.
great idea, excellent cause. Good luck!
This is for a good cause! Good luck.
What an amazing start to a fantastic day. Let’s spread the word and @thoroughlygood, I think I love you. 😉
You can do it!

Good luck with the world record.
Good luck with your record breaking attempt and raising the money for RNLI
Fantastic initiative, hope you can hit the 100K mark.
Way to go! great aim and initiative to start 2012. Good luck.
….Is this an example of gamification?
All the Best
Are we allowed to use the record attempt to shamelessly plug our musical interests such as my blog NewWavePunk? on Tumblr or not?
Good luck RNLI is a great cause to support
Good luck guys. I’m spreading the news as much as I can – everyone do the same. Let’s do this!
Brilliant cause, Tref. Let’s keep the comments coming…
Good luck reaching your target!
Good luck – hope you break the record 🙂
Hope you make it!
As anyone who enjoys watersports (either on or below the water) knows, the RNLI is the fourth emergency service. Without their bravery and skill far more lives would be lost at sea, yet they are nearly all volunteers – I’m in this to help support them!
All the best Tref sure you will do it; Dave
You need more comments
Great idea Trefor! Good luck with reaching 100,000 comments.
Good luck and hope you make it. RNLI is a very worthy cause
good attempt
Good luck with the world record
Nice idea, great cause – good luck!
Please keep up you selfless work ;o) THANK YOU ALL ;o) XXX
A worthy cause Tref! I always find Seth Godin’s blog inspirational and think the world of business would be a better please if people heeded his words! http://sethgodin.typepad.com/
Great idea and good luck! 🙂
Worthy cause. Good luck!
Good luck
An excellent charity to support.
Comment left, Donation made, Cause advertised.
Best of luck
Go Tref! Right behind you, brilliant idea and cause
No, not going to bother
This is a unique and wonderful idea, which i hope will raise more than the 100,000 expected for the RNLI. If one life is saved then .. wow! … what an acheivement.
Good luck!
We are all behind you. Its a great record to go for. Good luck 😉
Good luck!
Congrats – I’ll get all of our staff to retweet for you!
Hope it works RNLI has seen a downturn since Help For Heroes came on the scene (no criticism should be inferred!!). Good to see this!
Good luck Tref, really hope you hit your target!
Hope this works well 🙂
Good Luck
I’ll post a comment only because this site is reachable over IPv6. 🙂
Good luck, we love grassroots initiatives to raise awareness! The RNLI is a worthy cause to support.
Keep up the good work.
Good Luck!
If we get 100k comments then great. If we raise £100 for the RNLI then even better 🙂
I think it is a pointless exercise, just give the damn money and be content.
Nah, just kidding!
Best of luck getting in the record books!
Good luck tref!
Hope you make it Tref. Good luck old bean.
Wishing you all the best today! I’ll see if I can some tweeters with big followings to support the cause.
Hope you make it.
good luck from everyone in Wray, we’re far from the sea but we support the RNLI
Good idea and hope you raise the cash
Great idea – best of luck from all at Touchdown…

Great cause. Great idea! Good luck.
Very good. I like a cunning plan.
great cause Tref, good luck!

I’ll now go and donate to RNLI – another fab charity. Thanks, Rebecca.
Good luck – I think we can do this, GWR here we come, and some great support for RNLI

From Tim at the FT >>> @AbigailH @tref happy new year – looks a fun one but not sure world records are a very FT story I’m afraid… Good luck though!
Good luck Tref – we have spread the word @hotwirepr – fingers crossed!
good luck!
Great idea! I find Dr Sue Black (http://www.sueblack.co.uk/) inspirational for her drive, commitment and support of Bletchley Park.
Thank you to the RNLI for all their exceptional work in the South Hams/Caradon! Beach lifegaurds, lifeboat volunteers, education, training and more 🙂
You seek comments? Then HAVE them.

Good work, Tref.
While here, I’ve a friend on the Swanage lifeboat crew and they’ve a Facebook page that documents all their rescues, in progress or shortly after they’ve done them. Daring or mundane, it’s good insight into what the RNLI does for seafarers: http://www.facebook.com/swanagelifeboat
Great cause, great idea. Good luck.
top stuff folks!
This comment intentionally left blank
Good show!
Good Luck Tref with the record attempt.
Im hoping 2012 will be a good year since London is hosting the Olympics. This should inspire us as a get together as a nation and support ourt teams and make this a success. Im also hoping that our new data centre will inspire our existing and forthcoming customers to increase their usage of using Timico services.
Good work Tref.
Note to the RNLI : Please can I come aboard and live-blog from a lifeboat *please, please please*
Good luck!!
Good luck!
I’m all in favour of supporting the RNLI
good luck Tref !
RNLI – men & women showing bravery in the face of extreme maritime conditions time and time again. Great organisation, happy to support 🙂
What a neat idea – gets my vote, my comment and my donation. Here’s hoping that the world record can be broken 🙂
All for a great cause. I wonder who will get the 100k post 🙂
Wow! Just seen how much money you’ve raised so far, that’s impressive!
Best of luck Trefor, hopefully you beat the record.
Good luck guys !! Wow the comments are rolling in nicely !
Great idea Tref & worthy charity which does gt work, even in weather like last few days & nights
I’ve just noticed that my previous comment didn’t comply- is this better?
Keep going Tref
Lots of inspirational people to learn from in 2012, seems hardship brings out the best in people. Good luck with the record!
Nice idea guys, good luck 🙂
Good luck!
Wheeeeeeeee!
Good luck Tref!! 🙂
Great Idea, best of Luck and here’s another post to add to the list
Greetings from Oz, good luck Tref 🙂
Good Luck Tref! I hope the target is smashed 🙂 Fantastic cause as well! I’ll think of my inspiration for 2012 throughout the day and add further comment later!

Good luck, hope you win!
Glad to be part of this!!

Do you need any more inspiration than that of the RNLI themselves? Check their press center if you are in any doubt whatsoever and it wont take you long to make up your mind: http://www.rnli.org.uk/who_we_are/press_centre/news_releases/news_release_detail?articleid=465228
Good Luck Tref!
Great idea and a worthy cause. Glad to see social media being exploited.
All the best with the record attempt
Hope the servers are holding up 🙂
Good luck
Great idea for a great cause
Greetings from Oz, good luck Tref
Good luck! Great cause too 🙂
Great cause, hopefully you’ll smash the 100,000 mark.
Hope it gets the record. I think all lifeboat crews around the UK deserve our support – this is a brilliant idea.
Trev, good luck with all of this, personally this internet thing will never take off.
The quill and ink is king in my book 😉 Excellent charity by the way, will offer a few farthings.
regards
Good Luck

Best of luck!
Dear Tref,
Happy new year. I really hope you meet your ambitious target, it is wonderful to see a record breaking attempt succeed.
My inspiration for the new year is George Osborne. He and the treasury department have a rather unenviable job of trying to balance the government books. Every day the country as a whole borrows £400 million, which can’t go on forever. I hope he succeeds too. I appreciate that this is not very inspirational, but it is important.
Good luck and great charity to support 😀
Where would we be without them 🙂
I want one of those boats
£100 added from all of us here at BBG – good luck! #comment24
Good luck in setting the record and supporting the RNLI
good luck tref!
My farther was again my biggest inspiration.
I hope to just the same for my son in 2012 and beyond.
BE.
Always do the best for the RNLI so if this helps then I’m all in
Good luck everyone!
Brilliant idea to boost understanding & generate money for the charity. Delighted BT iNet have played a part in the underlying technology. Tell your friends everyone !
POST!!!!!!
All the best with the record attempt! RLNI is fantastic cause.
Cheers,
Trev
I’m noticing a lot of identical comments; do they not all need to be different to qualify?
Good luck with this, I really hope you get to the target

Doh!!! Just read the line about two words or more….
I hope you succeed.
Great stuff, all the best.
Whoo hoo! Always wanted to be part of a world record attempt!
Good luck and it’s a great cause too.
Good luck!
a really good cause, good luck 🙂
Good luck, great idea.
Good luck Tref! All for a good cause 🙂
Every success!
Great cause and a great idea. Good luck!
Good luck with the world record attempt. Very happy to be a part of it. Such a great charity as well.
Good luck with the record attempt and raising money for RNLI – so far so good!
My mantra for life and therefore 2012 is “it’s all about the journey”… here’s to making the most of each day we have and smiling while we do it.
Marvellous idea.
Just checking in…….Comments increasing nicely.
♪♫Dedication’s what ya need♫♪
All together now!
Good Luck x
Great idea @tref and a living in Devon the RNLI are a very worthy cause. Best of luck with the world record attempt! I hope the rest of the #LikeMinds community join in and support you.
Come on! We can do it!
Good Luck Tref 🙂
Anything to help a Great cause – Good Luck hope you achieve your goal.
Always support the RNLI – ALWAYS!
Good Luck with this! 🙂
A worthy cause and a great bit of fun too.

Superb idea in this world record attempt that benefits a great national interest (RNLI)!
All the best,
Lee
Good Luck Tref! 🙂
.
Go Tref
Hmm, only less than 400 so far? Disappointing – heres one to help!
Best of luck with the record attempt Tref. It’s great that social media can be harnessed in such a way to raise money for a very worthwhile charity.
What a turbulent year 2011 was, and I feel 2012 may be just as eventful, but my inspiration for this year is my community, and by that I mean my friends and family, my village, my work colleagues as well as my social networks. The power of community to come together, achieve great things and inspire others is immeasurable in my book, and certainly for me 2012 is about making the most of this.
Inspired by Stephen Hawking, a man with more restrictions than most but is a leading authority in his field, if only more people made the most of their situations and fought to see what they can achieve.
Good luck – Great cause!
Good Luck 🙂
Come on we can do this!! Good Luck 🙂
Go Tref!!!
Come on Tref!!! Good luck 🙂
Good luck guys, hopefully the wind will blow done comments your way….
Hope you get the record.
Best of luck with the record attempt!
What a great cause, the RNLI men put their lives at risk on a daily basis for no financial gain! Brave men indeed.
Will Microsoft continue its decline?
Great work
Perhaps we need to start a debate or general conversation so that posts flow more easily and don’t lose momentum?
Brave RNLI Crews will face more risk in future if plans go ahead to close vital HM Coastguard Rescue Ctrs which assist in every launch! http://www.petitiononline.com/SHMCGS/petition.html #MCA_cuts #stopHMCGclosures
Nice to be part of history, yet doing something special.
Lets do this everyone.

Great idea, for a great cause. Lets push to reach the 100k
Good luck Tref
Good luck with the attempt, fingers crossed!
Good luck, God bless, loving your work
What a fantastic organisation, risking life & limb to help others at risk in the sea.
Hope there’s enough resource in the Data Centre to handle all the comments 😉 Well done, Tref – great cause!
Let’s break a World Record . We need 100k unique comments. That’s just over 1 comment a second! Virtual scalable environment ready #comment24 http://www.trefor.net/world-record/
Come on! Good luck Tref 🙂
Plan to close 50% of HM Coastguard Rescue stations & replace with 1 UK Call Center will add to delays in launching RNLI Crews, this in turn will make their job harder.
All the best and hope you break the record
Good luck with the attempt and hope we break the record!!!
Good luck!!!
Good luck from all the team at The Lincolnite!
Good luck, sounds like a great idea.
Good luck with the record attempt Tref!

Fantastic idea. All the best in support of the very brave RNLI
Great idea guys. Hope you break the record. We will let our Twitter community know about it.
Best of Luck Tref! Great Cause!
Best of luch. You will be certainly the winner 🙂
Wish you all the very best of luck with your record attempt
From Darren Daly, BT iNet Technical Services
The scrapping of MCA Tugs and letting commercial ones assist any vessel in difficulties will lead to another disaster like Penlee, as Union Star failed to agree assistance from Commercial Tug and ended up on the rocks!
Good luck
Good luck Tref!
A most excellent enterprise and timely, given the storms we are heading into; real and metaphorical. If we are point-scoring, this is one for the positives. Nice one Tref.
Adding a small comment to keep up the volume…
Great cause, the RNLI (wife ran the RNLI Reindeer Run 10K just before Christmas, this kids and I completed the Santa Saunter) – let’s hope you reach the 10oK mark. And here’s hoping for a interesting 2012, populated with moronic Daily Mail scaremongering stories like the volcano one earlier in the week, to keep us amused and derisory…
Good Luck with this attempt Tref 🙂
best of luck with the record.
Good luck for a great cause, N
Good luck!
How are we doing?
Fantastic, really hope we make the record happen.
Hope you break the record Tref 🙂
Good luck with the record. A great cause and great that a glass of wine or two can lead to such positive actions. 🙂
Keep them comments coming 🙂
Good luck
Well Done! All the best… 😉
Good Luck with this, brilliant idea. 🙂
I hope you get to raise a lot of money!
Great cause – everyone post this on your facebook and twitter to get those posts coming!
Good luck with you record attempt! Hope you raise lots for ther RNLI 🙂
I’ll tweet and FB this too to see if I can drum up extra support for you!
Good luck, Tref, just going to add my donation now…
Tref, the RNLI is a fantastic organization and I’m glad to be a part of helping raise funds for them (and of course making a world record!).
biggest inspiration is R2-D2 , he can breath in space! Brilliant idea to raise money for a worthy cause
Best of luck to all who set this up and for a great cause.
Fab cause …all the best, looking forward in hearing results!
Wonderful way to spread the word … heres hoping that this is a successful World record attempt!
Good luck!
Really great idea and great cause, best of luck
All the best!
Whatever Trefor……. Good Luck 🙂
Good luck – and after the weather we’ve been having – great cause.

Good luck. Great idea to raise charity.. God bless you..
What a brilliant idea! good luck
The sell off of UK SAR Helicopter assets to a private company will give conflict of ethics with one Rescue Service trying to make profit & the other trying to save lives on donations! RNLI Crews will be used as cheap canon fodder in Maritime Safety.
Good luck with the world record
Good luck Tref.
Good luck, I hope you do it!!
Good Luck! Keep up the good work…..
Interasting idea and good cause. Hope you achieve the world record.
A worthy charity our family has support since my Grandfather joined the RNLI
I sail and really appreciate the RNLI, just hope I dont need them….
Good luck!
Great cause even if the record cannot be broken.
All the best in your attempt from myself and other people at BTiNet.
I personally look forward with hope and inspiration due to the people at Alder Hey Childrens Hospital who saved my little boys life.
Good luck……. !! 🙂
Great stuff, Good Luck, and don’t eat the yellow snow.
Nice 1, Hope u make it.
Kenny Dalglish is my inspiration. What a man! YNWA
Good look with the attempt on the World Record
Good luck – hope you make it.
Good luck and every success is wished for this attempt.
Good luck!
Good effort and good luck

Well, I hope all the comments are unique ones. I’ve seen a distinct rise in comment spam in the last couple of months on my blog – and that’s with controls switched on.
Here’s to reaching your goal!
RNLI must remain independent and neutral in the controversy of plans to close 50% of HM Coastguard Rescue Ctrs, but ultimately as the MCA have made gross errors in the plan, the people that are at most risk in paying the price are RNLI crews! http://www.petitiononline.com/SHMCGS/petition.html #MCA_cuts #stopHMCGclosures
My Friend works for RNLI in Bournemouth
Good luck on world record attempt.

Good Luck Tref ! 🙂
Good luck with the record attempt and the fund raising!
Good Luck!
Excellent idea and worthy cause. Let’s hope we hit the magic number!
Best of luck in breaking this record and raising a lot of money in the process! Well done!! x
Hi Tref, my guys have all been adding comments to the wrong thread – the old one..!
Best of luck..
Good luck
I grew up on the south Devon coast and still remember the maroons going up to signal the lifeboat crew. Brave, dedicated people doing a fantastic job. All the best with the record attempt Tref!
Luis Suarez IS & HAS been found guilty FACT!!! So get all off your high horses you liverpool fans!
inspirational person for me is Joyce Meyer! Good luck Tref!!
Good luck with the record attempt.

Good look with thebreaking the World Record

Best of luck today.
Hope the record attempt is successful. The RNLI will be busy in this windy weather, so excellent charity to support!
Good luck Trefor. Oswestry’s not very near the coast, but the way it’s raining here I can see us maybe needing the RNLI!! All the best from BT iNet.
Good Luck Trefor, think this is great idea for a good cause. Living in Scotland on the east coast i have seen the people of the RNLI do their stuff often, in the worst of conditions with little disregard for their own safety and wellbeing.
Hope you break the record!
All the best – RNLI is a great cause to support.
Hi
RNLI is an excelent cause I alway support.
Good Luck

Good luck with the record, all the best from http://www.gavickpro.com

Good luck Trefor – I’ll donate to the Lifeboaters for you too, and promote your initiative amongst my G+ circles……..
Has anyone seen the weather today?
Good luck, and hi to Gemma and Harsha!

Good luck 🙂
What a great idea & for such a worthwhile cause!!! Well Done Tref & et al :0)

Another Good Luck from BT iNet. The technology will do us all proud I’m sure.
Good Luck, from iNet
The RNLI and Air Ambulance crews have always inspired me. Providing such an important service, yet relying on charitable donations.
My inspirational person is Su@suejritchie from You Time Coaching… Always very positive & willing to help anyone.
Good Luck Trefor .. all the best for the record.
I support the RNLI and will make an additional donation today.
I did a comment.
I hope you smash the world record! It is a good idea to raise money this way!
As a scuba diver RNLI is a cause close to my heart. Good luck
Good luck.

Best of luck Keef.
Good luck! My current inspirations are my friends Helena and Richard, currently in the middle of rowing the Atlantic. As you do…
Extreme Weather Events on the increase, more shipping will get in trouble. RNLI boats will face more challenging conditions & may not have back up of MCA Tugs or Rescue Helicopters as these set to be scrapped!
Good luck with the attempt
Great to see you pass the 500 comment marker. What time will you get to 1,000?

Great initiative to draw attention to this cause. Good luck on the record attempt!
As a SCUBA diver, and a beach user, the RNLI is an important charity to me – good luck!
RNLI future crew safety? THIS explains the dire situation we face…it’s about UK MARITIME SAFETY FEARS & LIVES AT RISK, not about jobs: http://bit.ly/spV2K0 #MCA_cuts #NOtoCoastguardCLOSURES
Can I just repeat that “Good Luck” is not a long enough comment to qualify… come on people there are rules to this world record…
good luck in your venture
Penval is supporting this 100% this is a great cause and a brilliant idea – well done Tref and here’s to the record
Good luck with the record attempt – its for a great cause.

When the Trent Floods the RNLI will be there for Newark – good luck
Good Luck, fantastic cause x
Good luck!!!
People can’t keep putting ‘Good luck’ as they’re not unique comments, and neither are they a minimum of ten characters so surely won’t qualify?
Good luck!!!
Good luck getting 100k comments !!
We keep a boat in Poole Harbour, so I’m very happy to pledge support for the RNLI via Tref’s blog. And it’s my birthday 🙂
Good Luck Tref!
Very worthy cause.
Tref, is there a topic? perhaps setting one will inspire people to discuss and hence post more comments 😉
Top work as ever Tref… Look forward to seeing the results… Good luck!
Great cause – good luck 🙂
Great Fundraising idea for a great cause.
Good Luck.
Good luck and hope you make it!
Great cause and I finally get to be involved in a World Record attempt….at my age!!!
Good Luck with the World Record Attempt : o )
Good stuff
Any one for a bacon sarnie?!!
Woo, rock on, good luck
Good luck will the record attempt, great cause.
Brian …
We can do it!
In fact, this has just prompted me to sign up to the RNLI …… and I ended up buying some lovely gifts from the online shop.
Godluck Tref and a good, often neglected cause.
Good luck!
Keep going, you can do it or something
Good Luck Tref.
What an inspirational way to raise awareness and generate funds for the RNLI – well done!
Commenting on this.
Namaste from India – great to be part of the record!!!
I have been supporting the RNLI for over 30years and never feared for crew safety as much as today with the plan to close 50% of UK Coastguard stations that coordinate all sea rescues. Loss of the vital Local knowledge will send crews search in wrong areas or even launching the wrong boats!
Good luck!
Happy Birthday Louise Lancaster!!!
A super cause. Good luck to you sir!
Thank God, and we’re homeward bound”
Indeed, you may have a comment
‘Twas the coxswain, he roared “All survivors on board,
Blimey…need to pick up the pace. Go for it!
Came a hush, and a faraway sound.
Happy to support a good cause. Good luck! 🙂
The RNLI are so much in need of funding. What an excellent way to raise awareness of a cause that we all take for granted.
Best of luck, a worthy cause
Happy Birthday to Louise Lancaster who previously left a comment 🙂
We used to have a boat at Cobbs Quay Louise!!
Then just before dawn, when all hope was gone,
having been rescued twice by the RNLI I am very happy to comment and support this record attempt, they are very brave people.
Here’s my contribution to the cause 🙂
Inspiration wise, I’d say that anyone who can follow their own map to do something innovative is a good example to look towards. I’ve been impressed with the Bus Tops (http://bus-tops.com/) project that Alfie Dennen, Paula Le Dieu and team are launching in London. It’s a creative way to provide art and non-commercial messages on the top of bus shelters, hopefully inspiring people in their daily lives.
To wait for a radio call.
Happy new year, speak to you soon. 🙂
They had gathered in pairs at the foot of the stairs,
To the sea and the harbour wall.
Good luck!
Good luck with it 🙂
And back in the town, on a street that runs down
Adding my comment to help out 🙂
Good luck!
Good luck 🙂
Carry us safely home, from the sea.
Great cause, wish you exceed the 100k mark, all the best.
Happy new year to all.
From Switzerland
Cheers
good luck! I was in inspired by Julian Assange of http://wikileaks.org infamy: still causing (the good kind of) trouble despite massive resistance from the powers that be. No More Secrets!
Another source of inspiration – @Tor87 – Go Tor!
And carry us home, home, home from the sea,
Good luck!
Angels of mercy, answer our plea.
Home, home, home from the sea,
Good Luck with this attempt for a very worthy cause!
Please God, there are souls we can save.

Hope the infrastructure holds out!
Tref, Being a surfer, I never know when I might need the RNLI. you have my support:-)
Carry us safely home, from the sea
This is a brilliant idea! My biggest inspiration of the past year has been my good friend Ted Hall (@tedwardhall) founder of LGHTSRC and tireless supporter/co-ordinator of the Occupy protests. As wacky as he can seem, his diligence, dedication and conviction is always incredibly admirable and I wish him the most amazing 2012!
10453 people have signed the petition to stop closure of 50% UK Coastguard Rescue Ctrs which are involved with every launch of RNLI Lifeboats and save thousands of lives each year: http://www.petitiononline.com/SHMCGS/petition.html #MCA_cuts #stopHMCGclosures
godd luck.
Good luck!
And carry us home, home, home from the sea
Good luck!

Most inspirational person for me in 2011 is Robin Chase the founder of Buzzcar.
Home, home, home from the sea
Good luck Trefor, great cause!
As we joined in a silent prayer
Good luck with the record attempt, very worthy cause indeed
And each volunteer had to live with his fear,
Best of luck for your world record attempt. All for a great cause.
Felt a bit guilty just commenting with ‘Good Luck’ so felt the need to add another!! Cant think of a more unique, fun way to raise funds and awareness of a very worthy cause. We are caravaners and wherever we go all over the country if we are near the coast, we make an effort to go and find the Lifeboat stations to make a donation.
A hugely worthy cause. Good luck with your efforts!
For someone was waiting out there
Having grown up in the Orkney Isles on the north coast of Scotland and with a father who was a volunteer on the local lifeboat i cannot stress highly enough what a good cause this is. Many was a night my father would be called out at 2am in 120mph winds to save total strangers at great personal risk.
Great cause and here’s to the 100,000. Keep it up!
More power to your blog – my father was in the Merchant Navy for 26 years so any opportunity to help the RNLI gets my vote. Also, as an ex-tech geek, soak testing some servers is a bit of nostalga thrown in.
Good luck

‘Tho the night was pitch black, there was no turning back

Good work! Let’s do it!
As we watched from the harbour wall
Best of luck Paul and team!
They pitched and they tossed, ’till we thought they were lost
All the best with the record attempt!
A lifeboat answers a call
On a cold winter’s night, with the storm at it’s height
It costs as little as 1p per person in the UK to keep HM Coastguard Stations open, is that too much to ask for the added safety of RNLI Crews? http://www.petitiononline.com/SHMCGS/petition.html #MCA_cuts #stopHMCGclosures
Lets hope this works Trev, and hope the RNLI get a good result 🙂 #comment24
Can I nominate RevK of AAISP and Tref for trying to get people interested in the need to move to IPv6?
Great effort Tref and great cause!
Great challenge!!! Goodluck!
Good Luck .. lets hope we can do it 🙂
Best of Luck – Has anyone been in touch with Norris McWhirter??
Come on you Spurs! Harry for England!
Good luck with the attempt, been out at sea many a time but not needed a lifeboat yet! Touch driftwood.
Good luck!!
Good luck with the record attempt! Excellent cause and here’s to hoping a lot of money is raised. Happy 2012 to everyone.
Good Luck Guys!! Hope you all get there! Its a great cause! 🙂
Hi Dawn, Cobb’s Quay is where ours is too! Bring on the summer!
Have a lovely day!
Guinness world record attempt for most comments on an online news item in 24 hours. Good luck! #comment24
We are an island–surrounded by water. Think about it! We NEED the lifeboats and their stations. All praise to those who man them.
This is perhaps the most useful comment I’ve ever given on the internet!
Good luck !!!
Good luck with the world record, I’ll post to FB and round up a few friends
This seems like an excellent way to procrastinate from my chores while also raising money – what better way to while away my morning? 🙂
Good luck with the fundraising
Hi Louise, what a small world. We used to have a Doral on B pontoon. Still go down to Cobbs as quite a few of our friends still have their boats down there so might bump into you one fine summers day!! 🙂
Good luck @tref. Follow me @barlowjamie
Big shout out for Siloth RNLI http://www.rnli.org.uk/rnli_near_you/north/stations/SillothCumbria/history I just read their history. Apparently in 2002 Peter Nicholson, awarded to Helmsman Steven Henderson for a difficult and dangerous service when the lives of two people were saved from the yacht Susilla on 26 November. Go Peter – the volunteers of RNLI are all hero’s in my eyes.
Good luck Mr Davies, really hope you break that world record and raise loads of money for the Royal National Lifeboat Institution!!
Good luck tref
PICNIC Error – Problem In Chair, Not In Computer!!

Best of luck!
And also: Go Helmsman Stephen!
Icebergs are people too!
All the best for the World Record attempt.
Good efforts allround!
Ooh, good luck in this – one more to get you to target! I have family in Scarborough, and the father in law is always getting up to japes in a canoe, so who knows when we might need the RNLI 😉
Good Effort!
Good luck with it – great cause!
100K is a lot of comments!
Once the UK go to sleep tonight it really needs the US to pick things up 🙂
Anyone got any contacts?
Good luck @Tref
Also if you would like to continue to support RNLI then you can register / enquire about joining as Shore support, Lifesaving crew or Fundraising on the main RNLI website or just join as a member: http://www.rnli.org.uk/how_to_support_us/membership/
lets hope 2012 is a good one and good luck with the record attempt

Good luck, good cause.
My parents inspire me, each in totally different ways. Tref, who inspires you?
taken time out from the powder in Chamonix to add to the list #comment24 – good luck to all.
The men and women who man the life boats around this little island are an inspiration, one of my early memories is being woken up in the middle of the night by my father when the 2 cannons went off, we raced down to cheer the brave people who went out in all weathers to rescue fellow humans in distress, bravo, lets raise as much as possible.
wonderful wonderful charity…. we support the RNLI (and specifically the Salcombe Lifeboat) and gave our male wedding guests lifeboat pins to represent our donation to charity. Huge good luck today.
You can do it!
Good Luck with the attempt
[…] a quick post! If you haven’t already see, the RNLI attempt to break the world record for the number of comments in 24 hours. It’s a massive challenge and all to raise awareness […]
All the best !
Its gathering pace. It would be interesting to see some stats later showing ramping of no of comments /min on a time line as the word spreads.
Good Luck
Wonderful effort – for a very worthwhile and unique charity. Well done!

What a cracking idea. Going to the coast.
A great cause and well worth the effort
Good luck comrade! :0)
Great cause!
Go go go! Good luck and thank you for the service you provide. My inspiration is my 5 year old daughter who is currently battling a rare cancer. Hopefully this year will see her better and cancer free. Her journey will be a long one – requiring hip replacements throughout her life because of her cancer – but she’s strong enough to do it! You can read her story at http://www.JonisJourney.co.uk
It is great to see this gathering pace… come on Tref !
Nice initiative. All the Best ! God Speed !
Great idea – wish you well with it & hope you exceed your targets.
I find mostly that inspiration comes from family, friends & all the everyday stuff that we do & say :0)

Good luck guys with the record attempt from sunny sussex by the sea
Good luck, great cause!
Hope you make it!
Fantastic work done by these volunteers. Great cause. Good Luck.
It is worth making an attempt to help such an institution like RNLI. You never know when you might need their help to save your life. Good luck
An amazingly tasty macaroni cheese recipe:
50g butter
2 tablespoons of cornflour (or 4 tablespoons of plain flour)
1 pint of semi-skimmed milk
250g block of cheese
500g pasta
Stir the butter and the cornflour together over a high heat, until it’s a smooth mixture. Allow it to bubble while it’s mixing together, but do not allow it to scorch or burn. Once it’s a smooth mixture, add the milk and turn down the heat.
Continue to stir the mixture, making sure the spoon scrapes the bottom of the pan, while gradually increasing the heat. It should take you around 10-15 minutes to increase the heat to the maximum you can without boiling it. If the mixture is in danger of boiling or curdling then turn the heat down a little.
When the mixture starts to thicken add the cheese, which should be grated for maximum melting efficiency. Once the cheese is all melted in, add pepper to taste, add the cheese sauce to 500g of cooked pasta, stir and serve.
Good luck with the attempt …

Great Idea, Great Cause! Good luck!
Wooooop raise some moneyy
there is too much talk of ‘heroes’ these days, but lifeboat men/woman certainly deserve the tag
such a clever way to donate!!!
What preparations have the RNLI made for when the ice caps melt in december and the end of the world takes place?
RNLI is one of the most noble charities I know. So many lives saved. Gratitude to all.
After last night’s lack of sleep, my current wish for 2012 is that I hope it’s less windy for the rest of the year! I may yet become more profound after more caffeine, and comment again…
Is this the right place to comment?
I hope the record gets broken 🙂
Good luck RNLI!
Good luck and well done!
still a few to go…

Good luck with the record attempt.
My inspiration comes mainly from friends and family, you can learn a lot from just being with them through the good and the bad times. Good luck 🙂
prediction for 2012? -If this wind and rain keeps up we shall need lifeboats inland – so it’s in your best interests to donate people ! 🙂
Great idea for such a brilliant organisation. Keep going!
Good luck!
its going at about 1 every 20 seconds now, speeding up all the time!
here i’m commenting
Is there a world record for this already ?
I’m a comment!
The best ideas usually start in the pub…..
*fingers crossed* I hope a world record is broken here today on this blog, and more importantly that some much needed donations help support the fantastic service that RNLI provides!
All the best Tref 🙂
I think Dianna Abbott will make a difference in 2012, the difference being she’ll no longer be in politics, like she never should have been. Good luck chaps!
Pace is gathering…..
Will the world see more wars this year?
Good luck Trefor, need a few more hits for the million though!
Good Luck!
Great Idea and Good Luck! – Michael – Lifeboat Crew Member
Good luck with your attempt, Tref!
Best of luck with this – RNLI is trending on Twitter so hopefully that’ll help lots!
Do multiple comments count or do they require unique ones?
Keep up the great work, much appreciated by all at Sea
We’ll make ten million posts once we get these bots online *wink*
Life on land is very quiet… missing my days on tall ships : )
Can RNLI survive as a charity if closures of HM COASTGUARD stations increases their workload through inaccurate tasking and poor coordination? It will be too late to find out when they run out of funds or crews put in unacceptable danger: http://t.co/EOsGKeiP #MCA_cuts #stopHMCGclosures
Predictions for 2012?
prediction for 2012? -If this wind and rain keeps up we shall need lifeboats inland – so it’s in your best interests to donate people !
2012 prediction – We brake the world record!
Ben, your a trouble maker 😉
*break* I meant to say! Thanks Si !
Come on this isn’t nearly fast enough
Hope this works – best of luck!!
Good luck guys.. great initiative.. I know you can make it. Best wishes to break the world record! #RNLI #comment24
Great idea and cause, all the very best with it.
You know, all you had to do was write something unbelievably controversial in the piece and you’d have got tons of comments! Works for some sites *cough Daily Mail cough*
2012 prediction. Certain peoples 😉 grammer does not improve!
Aren’t the RNLI jolly spiffing? This terrible comment earns them £1 you say? Isn’t that jolly nice?
I see Emanuelle Eboue has posted any chance we can get RVP on?
Great effort – Lets get there and be part of a world record. RNLI do great things and I really enjoyed taking part in the Reindeer Run 10k in December at Bramham for this fantastic charity!
Have a comment on me! Good luck.
no comment
Excellent, good luck!
This is beautiful. Being part of an amazing process to help save lives.
2012 Predictions? Can we do better than the Mayans?
Interesting record – do the comments need to be related to the article?
Go for it! Good cause. Hope it’s successful.
Its day 5 of no nasty cigerettes and the crisp cupboard is calling me again!! If yesterday is anything to go by, I munched through 2 packets of Hula Hoops, one packet of cheesy wotsits, one packet of cheese and onion rigde crisps, a mint aero, a 4 finger kitkat and 2 packets of sour fruit pastle thingys .. all adding to 1145 calories whilst sat at my desk!! and that was before I got home from work and had my dinner with a glass of vino!! oh well, my lungs are very grateful but not sure what my digestive system is thinking right now!!
My 2012 prediction… Pay rises for everyone 😉
Comments, comments all the way. How many can we get in a day. One hundred thousand is the aim, no other number is the same. Come on lets give it all we got, before our efforts go to pot.
Very Good Attempt Good Luck…!!!
heres a comment, good luck!
What a great cause, we’ve tweeted this to our followers!
Good luck!

Great work guys, keep it up.
Well done, hope you reach the target and have made a donation to the cause.
Ben, who are the Mayans?!!!!
The engagement of the populace in the process of online expression is a laudable and indeed vital aim in the retention of our freedom in a climate of global fear and obsession with false security that governments are using as an excuse to enslave us.
Well done Dawn! Keep going. Perhaps start exercise to help you feel healthier and to counteract the extra calories you’re taking in?
Good Luck!
RNLI need as much support as possilble!
I will spread the word.
A few words for a worthy cause. Good luck.
Fabulous idea! Good luck Tref!
Wonderful task. All the best…………………!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Exercise … What is that !!?? lol
Thanks Caroline .. i was going to go for a bike ride last nite but it was soooo windy i would have blown away!! 🙂
Dawn, look up the Maya on wikipedia… now the wiki got all their donations should be easy to find 🙂
Best of luck with this!
2012 prediction! – WORLD PEACE !
Good luck!
A worthy cause. Good luck
Here is another comment to help get us over the line. A haiku.
Haikus are easy.
But sometimes they don’t make sense.

I’d like to nominate Framework in Nottingham for their great working in helping the homeless and those at risk. The is an inspirational guy there called Chris Senior.

Sail on sugar, good times never felt so good!
Ah that’s the problem Dawn. Well keep going with the no-smoking, you’re doing great. You can worry about a few excess lbs later!
Ben, Isnt the world suppose to end in 2012? so world peace may be achieved after were all gone?
Good luck! Over 99,000 to go…

Good luck Tref.
Would be great to see some more comments of an inspirational nature, I think we could all do with some in this cold and bleak start to 2012.
This one is for you @Tref, good luck with #comment24
Great choice of charity – the RNLI volunteers are saving lives in weather like this.
Jade, are you an advocate of eliminating humanity then?
Great idea. I love the lifeboat people. They are amazing.
Support the RNLI, mine’s a Guiness
Good luck!
Good luck guys. X
Testing
What a fantastic challenge and a great cause too. Good luck!
Just passed the word around at work, thats over 100 people if they all get time to do it.
Well I sure will be celebrating in 2012 – as this is the year I get married to my lovely fiance Andy 🙂
Good luck! Great cause.
Hi Tref, good luck with this.
Another great example here for the #RNLA of social media being used for social good. Great job and a great cause.
What a great way to raise awareness and money! Good luck!
Good luck and hopefully you can reach 1,000 comments- very good cause!
In Wolverhampton I am unlikely to need the help of the RNLI but I am so glad they are there for all the rest of you.
What an excellent idea! Best of luck with the challenge and fundraising for such a worthy cause 🙂
Ruddy nice loquacious idea
Good luck x
Good luck Tref. I hope you smash the record and raise £100k+ for the RNLI. 🙂
And the 5 things I want to achieve in 2012… finish off some stuff I started but never finished 😉
The RNLI is a great cause. Good luck!
Have been mentioning this to all the colleagues at work… hopefully they’ll be along soon 😉 Regardless an amazing charity to support. All the best @Tref .
Another great example here for the #RNLI of social media being used for social good. Great job and a great cause. (okay poor typing on last comment…)
Help I can’t stop commenting.
Best of luck!!
Good luck with this Tref – great cause and a great idea!! Although does it have an inbuilt auto post to twitter? Or do I have to sign in with twitter to get that bit to work?
Good luck with the attempt Trefor!
An excellent idea for an excellent and under recognised charity. Well done 🙂
Keep up the amazing work RNLI guys!
Hero’s each and everyone of you, putting your own lives at risk to save others. Good luck with the record, here’s hoping it’s a great start to a great year. Stay safe
Thanks Caroline, I will .. its getting easier each day as long as the stress levels dont get too high I can cope (with the help of a few nibbles!!) 🙂
Good luck for the record attempt
Excellent idea!! Good luck!!
Great idea – wishing you every success for 2012!
What a great attempt
please see below…
24hours you say? Well it will only take a couple of big twitter-hitters to RT this for you and you will be well on your way, hope the spanking new servers will be cope. All the best of luck with the attempt though – am glad to play a small part in it and a big thank you from me for all the fantastic work the RNLI does throughout the year. Sally B – London.
great…
Good Luck !!!!!!
Good luck
Should the RNLI have to depend on charity? Discuss…..
All the best with the attempt, good luck!
RNLI rocks! Let’s get this done!
Great effort!!
If you sail with me, we will find the sea!
My husband told me to!
Ben…. No …. but i do think the world without certain people will make the world a happy place lol
nearly 1% of the way there!! …more comments needed 🙂
you’d think there’s be big “add a comment” buttons all over this page!
Great idea for a great cause
Time to pick up a huge wet fish.
Tref, great way of demonstrating this communications channel, something local authorities and the public sector should buy into more in the future.
Good luck with the record Trefor… heard about it from my good friends at scubadviser.com
This is a great challenge
Nearly at 1,000 posts – whose post will it be?
Such a good cause! Good luck!
Good idea – hope it works
Let’s do this!
Inspiration for 2012? The two ex-servicemen who have retrained as BSAC Open Water Instructors despite horrific injuries. We could do with more like them 🙂 Also anyone who volunteers as lifeboat crew – we could definitely do with more like them!!
Lots of good people here making a grand (or hundred grand, we hope) effort. Well done and spread the word…
Great job!
Good going so far, go RNLI from @chicaneinternet #comment24
#comment24 Exciting way to prove the merit of social media & raise funds for a great cause #RNLI
Donations going nicely too! If you keep up the 5x the number of comments everything will be very rosy!
A great organisation
Best of luck! Great cause.
Good luck for a great cause. 🙂
Raising money for great causes just couldn’t be simpler…
Good luck for a great cause!
Big support for the #RNLI and here’s to raising £100,000 – good luck @Tref and #comment24
Need more posts!!!!
well worth 10 seconds of my time. Good luck!
[here via the Guardian]
@ Geordie “Should the RNLI have to depend on charity?”
Hi Geordie, a good question.
I’d say Absolutely Not, but without it I dread to think how many lives would be lost. In weather like were seeing today these brave men and women ignore risk to themselves in pursuit of saving others. Thanks to efforts like this one today we can at least highlight this ongoing funding issue as well as have some fun at a world record attempt.
Still need more comments
Good luck! x
How about a word association game? Or song lyrics? Something to get more posts faster. Remember though that responses need to be unique, a minimum of two words and ten characters to count…
Fantastic idea! I love seeing innovation especially in the third sector!
An excellent idea!
I always wanted to break a world record. What a great feeling to be doing it today and for a good cause too!
Only another 99,000 odd posts to go ! Good luck time is running out…
Good luck!
Good Luck
Nice one. Good luck with the record attempt.
Fingers crossed you reach your goal, will be tweeting about you ;o)
Always happy to help raise money for RNLI
Good idea Caroline ! Lets do it
Loving the power of the interwebs.
I would leave something witty & clever, but, in a sea of 100K comments it would drown.
So, all I’m leaving is this:
These are not the droids you’re looking for. Move along.
Good luck just read about this in the Telegraph and wish you all the best!!
Interesting challenge…
Probably should get involved…
Stop spamming me 🙂
Barry, isnt that from Star wars?!
Thats from Star Wars barry ! ?
If business and people started to pay the tax they are required to in their countries we would not have the current economic woes and that would fre more money for charity at home and abroad – Simples!
very happy to support you.
My current inspirational person is @Alice_Pyne. Fighting cancer with energy and humour.
Excellent idea mate. Two thumbs up from #Filey RNLI
To infinity, and beyond!
Good job running IPv6, hope more will follow
Wishing you Best of Luck!
1000 of us posting 100 comments is all it needs!
Who played the old obi wan kanobi? I aint got a clue how you spell that name!
Ok so is anyone else on board with some sort of word game? If so what could the theme be or the aim of the game?
Go Tref! Another one of your great ideas 🙂
1000
Pedal to the metal, folks!
Good luck.

#comment24 #RNLI
Happy New Year everyone!
Great work with this Tref. I’m looking forward to see this set a world record, let’s make 2012 a great year!
The RNLI is such a great cause – the work they do as volunteers is invaluable. Check out everything they do here: http://www.rnli.org.uk/
@NexusGlobalnet #comment24 http://www.nexusglobalnet.com
keep up the good work. 2012 will be a good year if this is how it starts.
Ahoy there, looks like we are all sailing in the same boat today.
I have supported RNLI for more than 30 years so adding a comment is small beer 😉
oh yeah !! Good call Glen !
Lifeboat love xxxxxxxxx
good luck 😀
Speaking of the RNLI, hopefully the government will see sense and NOT close the Portland lifeboat station. It’s sorely needed in that area of the coastline!
Boof.
Great idea – good luck!
Best of luck. More coverage here: http://thenextweb.com/uk/2012/01/05/help-break-the-world-online-commenting-record-and-raise-155000-for-charity/
Anyone here like bankers?
Note Grauniad headline misspelt
Have I missed the sandwich trolley??!! 🙁
I’ll promote this in every way I can. You’re doing a good thing – best of luck!
@Caroline – you could play that game, I forgot the name of it where you describe an something and everyone else has to try and get what it is.
Best of luck! Keep us updated!!
Well Ben, there is a lot I could say about bankers…!
Hope everything goes alright. Good luck!
Ben, I thought we didnt have bankers anymore?!
Good Luck
here’s a quid
Great idea, good luck, hope you break the record!
That’s true Tyler…perhaps might lead to a lot of repetition with words? Who knows…we could give it a go…would you like to start?
Great idea and great charity. Best of luck.
Resisting any temptation to offer cheap UGG boots, instead wishing you well.
Hurrah, huzzar, and a jolly well done.
Come on people!
Good Luck. Will be interesting to see how the rate of posting increases as the day goes on. On the inspiration front, I admire what British cycling have done for the sport and its perception in the UK in recent years. 2012 is a big year with a lot of opportunity for UK cycling.
They do some nice food at their base in Poole, just down the road from me in Bournemouth

No more crisps for you dawn !! lol 🙂

Good luck guys!
I have cereal – how boring!
#comment24 #RNLI Big “keep up the good work!” for the RNLI @BearGrylls @MontyHalls @BenFogle please RT guys!
Good Luck! 🙂
Let your boat of life be light, packed with only what you need – a homely home and simple pleasures, one or two friends, worth the name, someone to love and someone to love you, a cat, a dog, and a pipe or two, enough to eat and enough to wear, and a little more than enough to drink; for thirst is a dangerous thing.

Good luck mate – great cause!
Good luck, and even more good luck replying to each and every one of these comments…
Sounds like a really original idea – and for a great cause.
Good Luck for the World Record.
Brilliant idea! Glad my comment helps a little. These guys do a great job, shame funding is being pulled forcing the closure of some….
Good luck with the record attempt. Nice to see something a bit different and in aid of a great charity #comment24

Good Luck 🙂
Great to see Charles Authur (Guardian Tech) blog about this very worth cause > http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/blog/2012/jan/05/online-news-comments-record-attempt-rnli?newsfeed=true
This comment is for my Granny who is currently ill in hospital. When she used to take us to Skegness when I was young, I remember visiting a cafe that had one of those RNLI money boxes where the boat comes down the ramp when you put the coin in the box. Funny how these things jog your memory.
Good luck Tref,
Glad to comment for the cause. 😉

Who else is blogging about this today ? You are our heroes – get the message out there …
The RNLI is definitely a great cause in need of support. I was a “Stormy Stan Fan” when I was younger. Then I was inspired and amazed by the big boats, now I am still inspired by the bravery and selfless giving of the RNLI Volunteers.
Whooo!
Well done and thanks. Best of luck!

Good luck, and for such a worthy cause
Ingenious but simple like all the best ideas. I hope it works for the RNLI
Good luck!

Keep up the good work RNLI xxx
Best of luck!
I refuse to be drawn into this idiotic groupthink.

All for a good cause, Good Luck
good luck and good idea
great initiative!! all the best guys!

Good luck with this, reposted on my FB! 🙂
Great idea, and thanks for supporting the RNLI! Good luck!! 🙂
2011 was just the beginning. People are finally waking up!
GMDSS must make tracing vessels easier.
Took me more than one second to type, but good luck on a fantastic undertaking !
Took me less I used cut and paste 😉
Bloody good job people.
My gramps served for 60 years in the RNLI and was awarded and MBE for his efforts, and I love social media, so I think this is a brilliant idea, even if only 10% of people donated then it would still raise a lot of money for an invaluable service that is run mainly by volunteers!
Fingers crossed, good luck!
My inspiration for 2012? Myself. Sounds selfish, but only I can make this year good, for me and others… Good luck with the world record, I’m off to give £1 or more. #comment24
A worthy cause worth a few seconds of my time. Seems a tall order but I hope you make your target
Good luck, hope all crews are safe in this horrible weather.
Good Luck!
Best of luck!
RNLI are a great example of what people can do
Nice try… all the best!
Good luck in setting your world record!
Hope you reach your target!!

Inspiration for last year and into 2012: UK Cyber Security Challenge – @CyberChallenge on Twitter. Wonderful people doing great work to help keep us all safe.
Good luck!
Good luck with your bid.
RNLI are a worthy cause!
Lunchtime check in. Seen plenty or ReTweets, needs the likes of @Schofe and @stephenfry to pick up and RT. Suggest a coordinated twitter message to them from as many people as possible as the odd message may not show up in their timeline. Also hoping our fiends in the US will pick this up as they come online shortly.
Good luck with the attempt!
A good cause so here is my comment! Good Luck
Hey! Wondering why @GuardianTech did NOT add the #Comment24 tag?
Come on 2012!!!
Good luck Tref hope you get there
Here’s another one, hope it helps
Good luck the RLNI is a great cause.
It has to be 10 characters to count?? How on earth am I meant to summon the imagination to think of anything that will use 10 characters!!???! Good luck with that! 🙂
It took me 8 seconds to write this comment. And it’s raised an extra £1 for RNLI. Comment, do good and be part of history 😉
Great effort. RNLI fantastic charity
The RNLI are a great cause. Good luck with #comment24
Great idea. Hope u reach ur target. Good luck!
Good Luck!
Living in a seaside town, with an RNLI station, I often see the desktop pager going off and my thoughts are with the crew who are out there risking their lives to save others.
I’ve gone down and taken photographs of the launching boats before and I’d not want to even get close to the sea wall in some of the conditions that these guys go to sea in.
It makes me a little sad sometimes that it’s often people’s own foolhardiness that means the RNLI goes to their assistance. Those who go to see completely unprepared or in conditions for which they don’t have the experience to be out in…….
Good luck!
Well, this is quite a good cause… best of luck to doing well! if all else fails, at least it’s raised a lot of money 🙂
This is a comment just to comment. Good luck.
Good luck & a happy 2012 to all supporting you!
Good luck with #Comment24 mate – another of your great ideas 🙂
Good luck from sunny, windy, wild west Wales!
Good luck in your fun raising and record attempt.
As the previous was quite a long comment, I’m sure I can get away with posting a second!
So, here it is!
Good Luck!!!
Where’s Diane Abbot when you need her?
Such an amazing idea. Love to support RNLI too. Good luck, I will tweet this now!
Good Luck ….hope you raise loads of cash 🙂
Best of Luck! Thats a lot of comments 🙂
Good luck Tref
Great event Tref, looking forward to celebrating the record!
I’m not sure this is on track for the record …
I’m helping this cool cause
Good luck !
Comment!
Really must rejoin the RNLI after a break.
If the RNLI had sent this to their mailing list, this would be done by now
For a good cause!
The RNLI are a great cause. Good luck with #comment24
A great way to support the RNLI. Good luck with the world record attempt.
Great cause, best of luck

All the best. RNLI do great work.

Spiffing idea!!! Best of luck with the record attempt 🙂
Not my personal charity of choice …. but this good deed is sure to filter and benefit many! good luck with this novel idea!
Best of luck with your efforts!
My father always gave generously to RNLI, so my donation is going in the envelope I received @ Christmas. Being survivors of the Canvey floods in 1953, probably had something to do with it as well 😉
I was also encouraged to take up swimming @ an early age by my mother, and qualified as a RLSS Scholar Instructor when I was 15 years old.
Living close to Southend (Essex , UK) – one only has to walk along the promenade to witness their presence. As we are experiencing gale-force winds today, I’m sure they are currently very busy!
Great cause, happy to help.
Best of luck with the record attempt.
A great cause – good luck!
I’ve just asked @JasonBradbury (Gadget Show)
“This RNLI charity ‘techie’ World Record attempt bit.ly/comment24 needs your help! Please RT. #comment24 #RNLI #Lifeboats”
We need some ‘big hitters’ to get involved!
Good Luck, hope you are successful
Good luck. A worthy cause.
Ben long time no speak, how are you mate?
Hope it all goes well.
I hope this helps – we need the RNLI in Suffolk – esp as the coast keeps erroding !
really want to see this work.
Good luck! Great cause!
Hope the RNLI get behind this and get over £100,000 !!
All the best.. Good Luck
Good luck
Good luck!
Excellent cause, good luck!

Good choice of charity! Good luck……………………….
Hmmm I’ve been away for an hour and the post count has hardly moved – come on guys!
Good luck with the world record attempt, and fingers crossed for getting to 100,000 posts.
no sign of Stephen Fry yet? he could make this site bounce 😉 who is the most famous contributor so far? Or is it just us little people?
All the best!
Hope you are utilising the power of social networking sites to get more people onboard.
Twitter alone could double your hits in a couple of hours.
**thumbs up**
Good Luck. hope you reach the target 🙂
Good luck !
Making some very intersting connections on twitter as a result of this … amazing people out there – doing amazing things!
Lifeboats are awesome and the service they provide to sailors and fisherman is tremendous!
A great project – go for it!
You are an inspiration too 🙂
Here’s one more for you. Good luck!
I don’t agree with what the guy said in comment no. 3426
A great cause – good luck!
Good luck!
“Every worthwhile accomplishment, big or little, has its stages of drudgery and triumph; a beginning, a struggle and a victory.” Ghandi
Best wishes, and hope for a sucessful fundraiser.
Good luck – great cause – wishing you lots of cash for charity and insightful comments!
Good luck, hope you make it!
One more to the list!
interesting
Great cause.
This is a great cause – I have lots of happy memories of visiting lifeboat stations around the UK while on holiday with my parents – think I’ve been to most of the Welsh ones! Good luck with your attempt!
Best of luck
good luck with the world record attempt, its for a very good cause! #comment24 #RNLI
A great idea for a brilliant charity! Have tweeted about it for you and will keep an eye on the count 🙂
RNLI are heroes. Good luck 🙂
Great idea and good luck
What songs are you all listening to at the moment??
Looking good, keep up the good work everyone and pass the word round to all your followers, lets get this show on the road big time, its all in a good cause for the RNLI and a great test of the data centre.
My mum has been a total inspiration this last year. Facing and recovering from major surgery, her cup has never been less than half full – a really trooper and an inspiration to her entire family.
Good luck with the challenge – RNLI’s a great cause with people risking their lives in all weathers to rescue many people who, in so many cases, have been ill-equipped and foolhardy to venture out in poor conditions.
Good Luck!
All the best
A very worthwhile cause! If you’re just reading the page and haven’t got round to adding a comment yet, please do!
Keep going Bela! Lunch time now may see a few names I know pop up
Interesting idea. Good luck!
Luis Suarez – legend!
RNLI is a very worthy cause.
A lot of these comments are outrageously polite, (Gary Fuller excluded) let’s try for a little colour here, folks! Prediction for 2012: bigger broadband pipes for the next killer app ‘Adverts on UK CCTV’ and partly cloudy, with a chance of showers in the afternoon.
A great cause! The best of luck with the world record attempt!
Fantastic idea @tref I hope the record is smashed and celebratory drinks are called for 😉
Good Luck!
Statistics of reaching the target? its lunchtime with less than 2000 comments.
Inspirational person ::: is our Kim > bright and talented with appropriate humility! A true shining star >
Good Luck! Definitely a good cause :o)
Great cause, hope it is successful. Lifeboats epitomise our coast and the guys that risk their lives to save others are true heroes!
Keep going and good luck with the World record attempt for most comments
Good luck 🙂
Ian Ward – what a guy… phenomenal!
Grat cause… I hope you achieve your goal!
That’s a big 10 4, Quack quack
People STILL aren’t taking note of the rules! MINIMUM two words and ten characters per post. A lot of these comments won’t count…
Good luck!
Good Luck great idea!
Best of luck! 🙂
Goodluck
Good luck!
The cause is good! Have £1 for me!
Will you get the money if (worst case) You wouldn’t reach the goal?
Good luck!
Good luck with the world record attempt. RNLI do a fantastic job so pleased you chose them. #comment24
Great idea! Hope you reach your target. We couldn’t do without the R.N.L.I. or Radio Lincolnshire who featured you on one of their programmes!
My boss made me do this!
Best of luck – hope you do it!
Come on people, I need to test these blade servers!!! … I think we hit 1% CPU on one of the 24 cores on one blade so far!! 🙂
Yes, free link juice 😉
Great idea and I wish it every success in raising money for the RNLI! I’m also fond of the reporting and values shared and spread by http://www.good.is/ #comment24
With world domination in his sights!!! Good luck Tref!!!xx
hope you guys make it. keep it up!
Dunc, I hear no songs coming from your side …. put some tunes on 😉
Glad to see it’s still going strong!
Everyone, please make sure your comments are at least two words and ten characters long or Guiness won’t count them!!
Good luck to all.!
A comment.
Hope you make it!
You don’t get much more inspirational than the LiveStrong organisation (http://www.livestrong.org/), founded by cancer survivor and champion cyclist Lance Armstrong.
Good luck..
@ Duncan Song for the day > Paul McCartney Let em in … “sister Suzie, brother John, Martin Luther … open the door and let them in” http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9r0ANbSVa9k
woof, this is looking good. I just heard my woof tweet didn’t count because it was only one word so here are two. woof woof. good luck for the target.
Great idea, best of luck!
I don’t use twitter, but perhaps you should try tweeting with tags for some local / national radio stations / currently broadcasting shows to bump you up another 20,000 and put your hardware through its paces!
Great idea and i hope you succeed in getting the posts and supporting a truely awesome charity.
Good luck!
You have music in the office Jade? Jealous…
Good luck. Mon the hoops!
Great idea. Good luck.
Great idea Gary.
Thank you RNLI.
Jade – Sorry but Spice girls isn’t on the playlist today!!
Good luck with the world record attempt!
Good luck tref!
Caroline – Yeah our techies have the radio on 🙂
Dunc – *shocked face* there is nothing wrong with spice gals but for now just put white pigeon on lol 🙂
Well done on helping a very worthy cause!
Oooo I LOVE Spice Girls!
Good luck
Let’s break that record!
Best of luck with your attempt!
The RNLI is amazing. It relies entirely on voluntary donations and I was always annoyed a few years back when the AA called themselves the ‘fourth emergency service’ in an ad campaign – not compared to the RNLI they’re not.
All the best with your world record attempt!
best of luck…!
Fantastic idea – good luck!
It must be lunchtime now .. im starvins!!
Great Cause!
you and your food !! haha 🙂
Good luck & good luck to RNLI for 2012
Let’s get things rolling – Who do you think would be a bigger asset to the RNLI: Batman or Superman. Think carefully and answer why.
I’m guessing that the RNLI’s PR and marcomms people know about this? Saw a comment below about getting the info sent out to their mailing list – sounds like a good idea to me!
Let the 2012 be the year of ugly ends and the year of change-making beginnings!
Good luck, great cause!
Fantastic idea and good cause. Best of luck!
100 k unique comments but people are leaving ‘good luck’ only comments, not sure if they will be counted…
Caroline, you’ll be pleased to hear, no ciggies and no crisps or chocolate so far today!! Just 7 clementines and some much needed coffee!! 🙂
Yarrrgh, these be sharky waters. God bless the RNLI and their dedicated team of Shark Hunters. With your help we can rid the world of these killer beasts once and for all.
Great idea!! Hope you smash it
Superman !! Cause he can fly
Caroline you are not the only one who likes the Spice Girls 🙂
Good Luck with the record, let’s hope we can raise lots!
Nothing great was ever achieved without enthusiasm.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Best of luck to you!
Best of luck! Hope you make a record here 🙂
Gotta be Superman !!
🙂
A great cause. These guys and Mountain rescue alike do not get the recognition they deserve!
Superman can fly and is strong!! lol!
Great idea for a great cause
What the… why did “stheah” just leave a smily face!!??
Big fish, little fish, cardboard box.
Go for it
Fantastic idea for great cause
just saw a comment from Delboy, can I add my motivational quote to his?
Knowing is not enough; we must apply.
Willing is not enough; we must do.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Come on, we all know Girls Aloud rule over Spice girls!! … I’m just a loooove machine …..
I think it’s Batman cause he probably knows how to use all the equipment in the boats and helicopter.
Good luck sir with your world record attempt. I sincerely hope it comes off for you.
Here’s another comment.
Happy New Year everyone.. Great idea.. RNLI is a great cause.
Good luck…. 1396 @ 13:21 GMT
Great idea, so while, we’re here, check out http://www.coconutbaystlucia.co.uk for exclusive travel tips and deals
just read that the RNLI rescue on average 22 people per day……this hit home what a tough and worthy job these guys and girls do! A great cause! Good luck!
Can i just say, android phones are much better than Iphones…. Debate?
Not entirely sure why Newark (Nottinghamshire) needs an RNLI branch….
… however, please note RNLIs ‘SOS Day’ of fundraising on 27th January.
Also there are a great many other RNLI branches around the country always looking for volunteers to help with fundraising – so consider if you could spend any time helping out (they’re not just on the coast – or even close to large bodies of water!) . And if the thought of coffee mornings and flagdays doesn’t appeal – you could still get involved and start organising the kind of events that you’d like to take part in.
Best of luck with this!
I would donate but I’ve got no money until my next loan comes in :(.
Great cause though!
first.
lol jks, good luck!
Best of luck. I hope you make it.
oh and george, yes they are.
Its a comment alright…
BOOOOMMMM
yoyoyo gogogo!
Good work folks, glad to help out raise some money for you.
I doubt I can say anything that others haven’t or won’t say, so I’ll keep it brief. Good luck!
Go for it…
Great work so far and for a great cause! Happy New Year to all =D
Good luck guys!
Thank you for all the work you do.
Go for it!!
Thankyou RNLI. Good luck in a great challenge
COMMENT
Another comment
and my last comment
Good luck RLNI !
Good point from PaulM – I know the East coast is sinking but didn’t realise Newark was in danger?
The office is so quiet, I want us to have a flashmob silent dance…
It seems appropriate to mention one Blog(g) on another –
the RNLI’s Henry Blogg is still an inspiration today:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Henry_Blogg
Go for it Trefor, who said IT guys were dull and unimaginative!!!!!!
let’s raise more money!
cash for comments is the deal!
get that moolah in!
Suerte.
Dancing – a vertical expression of a horizontal wish ! Good luck with the record, this should be a unique quote.
Good luck, hope you make it
I’ve never had to use the RNLI but you never know when you might!
Good luck and all the best.
RNLI, really great cause. Get commenting people!
Brrraaaa!
Is this all it takes? Well blow me…
Best of luck everyone here at networx recruitment. I’ll be sure to pass this url about!
Well done Dawn – mind you don’t pick up a clementine addiction!
The Lord of the Rings is one of the worst books ever written, and the first movie, which I watched in good faith, sent me to sleep.
One more. Don’t quite see how this raises money,though.
Go for it Trefor, who said IT guys are dull and unimaginative!!!???
Great cause and good luck with the fundraising effort!
I love fishermen. Very much so.
GoOd LuCk!

New years resolution – learn to swim!
Good luck!!
Spice Girls vs Girls Aloud…
Indisputable Sass: Spice Girls Win
Good Looks: Girls Aloud Win
Music: We all loose 😉
Would Batman or Superman be more use to the RNLI…
Superman – he can fly and can not drown. Also, no need for distress flares, when you can fire laser beams from your eyes!
Got to be worth a comment for such a good charity??
hello, i am fred
Lets hope it works!
Excellent!
Good luck I get involved with the RSPCA & know how difficult it is raising money. The RNLI is again a very worthy cause.
Good Luck – nice idea

The RNLI is a great cause. Good luck on the record attempt.

Good luck – anything to raise the profile of this invaluable group of under-funded life savers is worthy.
Someone tell me a joke? …
I went into a video rental shop the other day and asked
“I want to take out Batman Forever”
The assistant replied “Sorry, you have to return it by Wednesday”
Does anyone enjoy hitting the refresh button and commenting after?
Good luck! 😀
Hope you make it – glad to be extra tiny run on the ladder…
Good cause, here’s a vote from me. Hope you pull it off.
Good luck!
PS3 is not as good as the Xbox.
Nick Clegg is a sell-out
Ryan Giggs is a [injuncted]
For the greatest photography blog in the world check out http://www.pixelmesenseless.com
Fantastic – good luck!
Why did the chicken cross the road? Really is there a correct answer to this as I reckon it is the lamest joke ever.
A world record for blog comments? Well, why not? Any doubts about @RNLI support, have a look at their twitter timeline in this weather, watch some videos of volunteers saving folks at sea. Good luck guys!
A extremely worthy cause. Good luck.
Good luck!
An organisation that has inspired me is RU OK? in Australia. It was started by the late Gavin Larkin (1968-2011) and has been growing every year. http://ruokday.org
Good luck on getting the world record!
Good idea and for a great charity – Good Luck
Excellent idea. Hope you get the 100K.
Best wishes and good luck.
Great cause, great idea. Good luck!
Best of luck!
Superman obviously for RNLI. On raw power it would have to be Goku.
Good Luck!! X
Me thinks the ‘good lucks’ ONLY comment will invalidate the 100K mark, cmon people show some love!
Good Luck!:)
Just as Portsmouth #RNLI lifesaving action outrolls in Solent … good time to be generous for them! #comment24
Good-o – hope you get the record
Great cause, good luck!
I might need them one day so here’s a comment!
In memory of my aunty Anne. A huge RLNI supporter.

Good luck!
Hope you make it to 100k !
I like turtles.
Good luck! Hope you get all the comment you want. Here’s a little charity that I came across in northern India that is full of amazing people doing amazing things for each other for free http://www.learningandideasfortibet.org
Bela – Why did the chicken cross the road?
To get to the other side.
This works as either a joke based on being ‘unexpectedly ordinary’ akin to
What’s brown and sticky? A Stick or What’s blue and fluffy? Blue Fluff
but could also work as a play on words that even if the chicken does not make it to the other side of the road (ie gets run over) the chicken will get to the ‘other side’ (as long as you believe in an afterlife for chickens.)
Why, oh why, did someone think a comment includes a figure drawn with slash marks?
Check out the RNLI ‘Life Boats in Action’ Calendar.
I’d love some yellow RNLI wellies!
Happy to support this great experiment.
‘Good luck’ posts don’t count remember…
Good cause. Best of luck!!
Great Cause. Good Luck!

From the crew of TS Pelican, good luck to a worthy cause!
Happy to help, good luck!

Great idea. Well done all!
When I was a little girl, my parents took us out on a trip in our then new sailing boat in Chichester Harbour. We didn’t know that there was actually a fault with the clutch and we were unable to properly make way through the tidal water. We had to call the RNLI who came out and rescued us, taking us back to our marina safe and sound. Ever since then, I’ve donated and contributed to every RNLI fundraiser I’ve come across. I hope it’s helped other people who got stuck 🙂
Hope we make the Guiness Book of Records!
Good to see a data centre being tested. Great cause too, the RNLI is superb service.
Woop Comment 😀
Great idea, good luck with it!
Great cause, good luck.
Happy Birthday!
All the best with the attempt, happy new year

Interesting how the record is for comments made to an online news item, when the news item is the record attempt itself. A self-perpetuating feedback loop that will spiral into madness…
People who work in social health.
Good Luck!
Good Luck with the attempt heres to lots of money being raised

Helps the rats out when we get stuck at sea.
Good luck guys. I hope you don’t mind me dedicating this post to the memory of my late uncle Bob Bennett, of Wareham and formerly Gibralter, who designed the RNLI’s Tyne Class vessel.
Great cause, hope you reach your target!

RNLI & other volunteer rescue crews go out in any conditions! So think on next time It’s blowing Storm Force winds & check what’s happening, follow @outOnAShout or @RNLI or any of the stations on Twitter. Also check the campaign to save Coastal Rescue Centers here http://t.co/EOsGKeiP #MCA_cuts #stopHMCGclosures

Amazing work you do!
No comment
I live in Poole and (Head Office for RNLI) and work for a company that services engines in their boats, I know how important the job that the RNLI do everyday, as they say, every little helps.

Ah ok I have just visited the site again, can’t leave without commenting again!
sss
Good to see the post count going up and up
Thanks for pulling several of my mates out of the sea, over the years!
whoops, was meant for everyone, not you lady! but i guess its a good excuse to type again and raise one more lol
i can’t believe that the government don’t fund organisations like this or at least donate some money towards them including air ambulances and mountain rescue
Good luck!
Come on with the comments already – let’s try and overload the servers
Waste of talentless
or rather best of luck
Best of luck with it; here’s a tuppence worth.
All the best Trefor!! Hope the comments keep coming!
Just popped back to wish everyone good luck for today.
This is a great idea. All the best! KT.
Is our #twicket Brenda the only celebrity here or have I missed some comments?
howdy from Basildon, good luck with the attempt!
To comply with the rules the comments must be at least 10 characters, a minimum of two words and not comprise solely of punctuation marks. Basically comments have to make sense. Happy commenting & let’s see if we can raise £100k for the RNLI.
Here’s mine – great cause but hope i never need to use it.
keeping it going 🙂
Because if she is I think its sad when celebrities can’t think of someone else for a change and take time to make a quick comment for the RNLI.
hope you break the record for a worthy cause
good luck!!!!
A great idea and what an easy way to raise £1 for the RNLI. Every little helps, huh? Tweeted.
Thanks you, Bela! X
In fact if I knew any celebrities or followed any I would unfollow any who have been pinged to tweet this and haven’t bothered.
Not that I follow any.
gathering some pace now and a great way to test a data centre once the speed gets up…
Good luck!
Good Luck
I mean its a waste of time following celebrities when they don’t even read their tweets isn’t it?
Best of luck!
not exactly rocketing out the gate yet, are we?
Good
anther one for the list x
But at least Brenda tweeted, she is the best celebrity we know anyway.
good on ya mate
Good luck all the best carry on the good work!
hope you get to break the record!!! you do a brilliant job guys 🙂
Although I’m located the furthest away from our coast as you could possibly get, it’s us numpties that get into trouble when we’re on our jollies:) So good luck RNLI!
Ooh, there’s still a way to go. But the day is still young. Who’s staying up all night to see the finish?
Its also a shame when folk don’t read the blogpost and tweet less than 10 characters cos that doesn’t count.
Hope you reach the target, good luck
But I guess we are all guilty of rushing into things.
This is a great idea, I see the valuable work that the RNLI do in the South West when I visit Cornwall, keep up the good work! Good luck! #RNLI #comment24
The best of luck to you…
The very fact that RNLI has been sustainably across through 3 centuries independent from any government agency speaks volumes. Lang may your boathouse lums reek!
Pushing out on twitter @asnood #comment24

Good luck with your world record attempt 🙂
Good Luck! UCS Rocks!!
there are at least 6 ferry routes to the Isle of Wight!! Why is the one that stops running due to bad weather the one you are waiting for? and then why, when it starts running again did i miss it because i was too busy talking to notice the boat was boarding!!!
Top tip: for those that cannot spare 10 or more characters, simply re-use previously typed characters from your copy buffer. This is both green and a money saving idea by reusing previous keystrokes and uses less computing power as a result.
I support the RNLI too with this comment!
The rules should have been highlighted or been put into some pretty graphics so that those eager to post a quick less than 10 word comment may notice it. Food for thought if we don’t get there….
Happy New Year to one and all
hang on that didn’t count – this is more than 10 characters though
Delighted to see @chrisbrogan has plugged the cause on twitter – thanks to our very own inimitable @RobWilmot
and i still wish you luck!
Good luck!!
Come on people, comment!
Dedication. Dedication. Dedication
ahhhhhh Stuart .. thats just typical!! Lol!
goodluck
here’s hoping for the world record….!
Whoops! Perhaps even better luck is needed!
That’s what you need
Good Luck….!!
Go Cisco UCS !!
Another inspiration for 2012 is @jameslyne. He does a lot of work for charity – there is a rumour he is President of the Preserve Our Tweed Today & Yesterday foundation too 😉
I don’t support stupid world records like this and refuse to support your silly attempt.
Thank you.
If you wanna be the best
and you wanna beat the rest.
All at RNLI keep up the mighty work, appreciated by all, at sea and ashore
Stu u should of put an umbrella up and the wind would of taken you over the sea!!! lol 🙂

Okeedokee, used the aOATH thingy (Sp) and read the whole thing, so here’s another ‘unique’ comment… said something about ‘worthwhile’ causes, so here’s a fave of mine, they don’t tweet yet, but, since you asked, http://SGIQuarterly.Org is a fave organization of mine, been trying to practice what they teach since 1989, and well, it’s all been good so far… they are a U.N. NGO, dunno if RNL does same, but NGO’s rock!… and BTW, anyone here also into the Earth Charter thing?… SGI had an even about them aeons ago (well, 1998, to be exact, October, if the Gingko Biloba I took was fresh this morning… or did I NOT take it!)… and nowadays, sustainability appears to be a #mainstream-ed keyword… so let’s keep commentin, I guess? c-ya!
Good luck!
Good luck! Great cause.
Wishing you all the best at this.
Hope you do it best of luck! 🙂
Daniel Solomon, did you go to school in St Johns wood?

After a ship sank in the ocean, three men ended up stranded in a lifeboat. They floated around for days without food or water. One afternoon a bottle floated up to the boat. The men grabbed the bottle and when
they pulled the cork out of the bottle, a genie appeared.
‘I’ll grant each of you a single wish,’ said the genie.
‘I wish I was home,’ said the first man. Then, poof! he disappeared.
‘I wish I was home, too,’ said the second man. Poof! He disappeared too.
The third man looked around. ‘Gee, I’m kind of lonely,’ he said. ‘I wish my friends were here with me.’
good news makes me smile, I’m smiling.
Favourite books anyone?
Happy to join in, as a recreational sailor I have never needed the RNLI but appreciate their skill and bravery – worth supporting everyone!
What’s the difference between muffins and cupcakes?
Another one to the list
Pitching in! I hope this works :}
Great cause, hope you get to your goal and raise enough cash to float the boat for RNLI.
Great to see some international flavour >> you can comment in any language! As long as you comment …
World record attempt for most comments on an online news item in 24 hours has started. #comment24 #RNLI http://t.co/FgJFHyU1
Good effort and I hope you exceed the required amount of posts! 🙂
All the best guys!
@ Tom – MacBook Pro & add iLife 11 (◕‿◕)
Is it wrong to spam the celebs I follow on Twitter? 😉 xxx
Good luck with it. Good luck to Leicester Tigers this weekend too!
My first inspiration is Kiva – http://www.kiva.org – loans that change lives
Muffins- no icing, cupcakes- icing. Surely its like spot the difference?
Fantastic cause – great idea, Tref! 🙂
As a Scuba Diver I wholeheartedly support the RNLI (though I really hope I never need to see them)
I don’t know, what is the difference between muffins, cupcakes and fairy cakes.
Great cause, hope you succeed.
Good Luck with the record attempt 🙂
Guys please read the rules so that your comments count! 2 words or more and UNIQUE so no more solely ‘good luck’s!! Best of luck for the cause, my family have needed RNLI over the years and continue to support them.
working with not for profit sector in particular St Barnabas House Hospice has been inspirational for me! http://bholdena.com/2011/12/01/st-barnabas-hospice/
A valiant effort!
Next one is of course the RNLI – it hard to read stuff like http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Penlee_lifeboat_disaster without responding!
Many thanks to the RNLI, but despite several sea-bourne adventures I’ve yet to need their services. Hope this goes well!
LOL, someone actually left a “Lorem Ipsum”! 🙂
Pretty clever thinking, its like hitting 2 birds with one stone, good luck with the fund raiser
I have always supported the RNLI, lets hope this is sucessful
Happy to join in as well. Hope you get there. #comment24
Good luck! Get posting 🙂
Contributing!
Right everyone! Lets break this record and raise over a hundred grand for the #RLNI #24comments
Good luck on the world record
So will this do?
I hope my several comments will still be counted.
not even 12 hours through – we can still get momentum. tell your friends!
Is a Jaffa Cake a cake or a biscuit?
Whats the bloody difference anyway?!?!!
Very best of luck with your world record attempt – the RNLI is a wonderful cause 🙂
I hope it works.
All in the name for a great cause, good luck. Especially considering most of us live on an island
This is boss, please support it 🙂
@ Squirrel that works well!
I’m still trying to finish the Steve Jobs Biography – downloaded the audio book for free but whenever I try to listen, it sets me to sleep.
Good luck!!!! x
Its a bloody Cake
Wonder if this record will be broken? #RNLI #YNWA #Comment24
I’m in
Well as a constant sea goer I cant commend these guys enough 🙂 Best of luck to you Ladies and Gentlemen!
Cupcakes are just muffins with a smidge of buttercream on the top and a 500% markup!
Fantastic effort. Love the RNLI
Love the RNLI , true heroe’s
Good luck on the world record attempt!
Not first! 🙂
Fun idea for a record – hope it’s successful…
The RNLI must be hard pushed given the current weather condition #comment24
Please tell me can you count to ten?
Good cause! Good luck!
I hope you get the result you are aiming for!!
i herd u lik comments so i put a comment in ure comment so you can comment on the comments
Obviously not try again with more than ten words!
Great idea, But were theres some conditions about where this can be advertised. I would have thaught getting this out wide on facebook will greatly improve responces. Also posting this out on some of the large public messageboards and forums would help.
Also why isnt BBC news or anything reposting this again that would help out ALOT!
I hope this comment helps you guys to hit the mark you need to reach. Will be telling all my friends and Twitter followers this evening to try and get you a few extra comments.
Have to say, this could have been promoted in other areas of the media than just tech columns/blogs though. Unless I’m missing something, I don’t see why the BBC didn’t pick up on this great fundraising idea and put their great weight behind it?
Amazing cause and amazing volunteers! I live a few hundred yards from the Eastbourne RNLI and support them every month. Help out with #comment24
[…] a comment and help the RNLI World record attempt as well as a bit of fundraining … World record attempt for most comments on an online news item in 24 hours has started. #comment24 #R… Reply With […]
Good luck with the record!
Great cause. Good luck!
words words – that is all it is … just a few scattered thoughts > but what a difference those few words could make!
Good luck, a great cause and hope you reach the target 🙂
Always admired the work of the lifeboat crews – tough job!
A good point below, shouldn’t this be on teh BBC technolgoy website by now ?
I wouldn’t fancy going out in a boat in this weather ! Well done RNLI.
Good luck with this worthy cause and WR attempt.
Good luck from 1181 (Syston) Squadron Air Training Corps!
My comment is here!
Good luck on your world record. Here is my two cents 🙂
I can’t help but comment on this comment-fuelled fundraising opportunity for the RNLI, however I fear that by commenting in this comment box my comments may be misunderstood. I’d like to know your comments on this. #comment24
RNLI World Record attmept! Get involved peeps! #comment24

Lets keep up the momentum!
I have 3 fish and a frog in my fish tank at work. They need names.
Fish are as followed. any ideas for names for them all?
Orange fish
Blue Fish
Silver & Black Stripey Fish
and a grey Frog.
your suggestions are worth £1 to the RNLI
let have some ideas!!
Both, the way im feeling i will take the Rice crispies and the cornflakes!!
Fantastic effort, well done and good luck RNLI rule!
Good luck with the donations Tref. Just cause.
Nemo for the orange fish !
we all dream of a team of Tim Howard’s
Full Fat or Semi Skimmed milk Dawn?
Stuart.. re your names for your numerous animals on your desk..
the frog – Kermit?!!
What a good idea. I ran 26.2 miles to support the RNLI, I could have just sat at home and started a blog instead! All that pain!
Good luck man, I hope you do it. It’s a very worthy cause. 🙂
A blue fish I’ve never seen one off to google to see what they look like
skimmed milk!! that like fat free
Its not Terry’s its MINE.
Lets go for full fat Stu !!
Good luck, sent by @Fourth_Official
@Fourth_Official pointed me in this direction. Good luck! @j_j_78
Andy,
you should live nearer the sea!!
Stripey Fish could just be called – Stripey?!!
@ Stuart, I am a great believer in uncomplicated names, what’s wrong with the following –
Orange fish
Blue Fish
Silver & Black Stripey Fish
Grey frog
Good cause!
Peter,
I think thats to complicated, i would forget them all!
Hmmmmmm mmmmm
good luck
Or, you could name them numerically?
Hi
certainly a unique idea!!
Names for your fishy&froggy
Orange fish- sunshine
Blue Fish- sky
Silver & Black Stripey Fish- thunder&lightening
and a grey Frog- Prince charming
I hope you like it!
Good Luck! I hope that you succeed
Good luck, best wishes from Sweden!
I really do have a second or two to post, Hoping everyone leaving form work soon gets on here and posts.

Nice stunt. Donation done.
My favourite charity, please support it. Good luck!
I hope you get the record – hopefully lots will comment tonight after work! 🙂
Spooky i was thinking clementine for the first one.
what would be really cool is if you had a viewport showing us the new realtime traffic from Google Analytics
Good idea not sure you are going to make the 100k unless you can get some bettersyndication though
Stuart,
ive just got a new kitten .. any suggestions?
You know what I’ll post again just for the fun of it
If you receive an email from the Department of Health telling you not to eat tinned pork because of swine flu ignore it….. Its just SPAM 🙂
happy to oblige
Glad to contribute one more. Best of luck reaching your intended target
Really neat project! Hope we can break the record!
Dusty

Dusty, what about Kitty for you kitten?!!
That sounds like a good swap ! 😉

Good luck Tref!
Best of luck with this the RNLI are brilliant.
Has anyone mentioned Hitler yet? There is a rule that the more comments a blog post receives, the more likely it is that someone will compare someone else to Hitler!
Lovely spam on toast someone just had to mention spam
Jesus loves you!

I’ve noticed over the last few days people on freecycle have been asking for satallite dishes and aerials wonder why
who is this Ronli bloke anyways?
I think Stuart wants to swap his dead fish for your kitteh not feed it lol
No act of kindness, no matter how small, is ever wasted ~Aesop

You can do it!
One more for the cause…
@Dusty
Name your kitten ‘chairman meow’ then you can just refer to him as ‘the chairman’.
As if a cat ever needed an ego boost.
ive made a comment
Great idea, and a great cause, Good Luck !
Good luck RNLI, my grandad haad worked on the lifeboat in Dunbar with his six brothers. So very proud of thhe work you all do and most of all a massive thank you 🙂
Good luck with this cause I hope you are successful in it.
Best of luck!
I’ve been a staunch support of RNLI ever since I started sailing, and especially so after I did my first solo sailing! Will be retweeting this – good luck with the world record!
Wow, was that the real Jason Bradbury commenting, he’s everywhere!!
good luck
Add some chips and ya good to go 🙂
Hope this helps tot up the score a few more. Good luck!
Happy New Year to everyone on Voyager 8, hope you like your packed lunches. OMG wha..
I’ve never broken a world record before… fingers crossed!!
Great cause..great idea
A cracking fundraising idea for a cracking charity….best of luck guys!!!!!
Clearly you need to have something controversial to get the comments going.
Since this is a “techie” thing lets go big:
emacs or vi?
vi every time here.
Great idea man.
would you like to use my glasses?
Haha! Sounds like a plan although its not going very well at the moment… :/
What if this blog got spamed?
you can do it guys!
Hello again …wow its gone up a lot since i left my last comment …keep them coming guys 🙂
Thanks Tom .. very good idea, like it very much!
Good luck with the attempt!
I think this is great. Keep it up!
So does this thing need 100K individual posters or just comments?
my brother worked for RNLI st agnes! wishing you all the best
Hey, good luck with the record attempt!
Everything seems to be going swimmingly until you need the RNLI 🙂
A titanic event to raise cash!
Here’s my contribution to support a great idea. Good luck Tref. Will give it a plug where I can.
Volunteers just go when someone needs them. They do not get paid. What role models.
An interesting spin on a charity fund-raiser, and indeed a record attempt.
Good luck Tref! I’ve been doing my bit this afternoon to drum up some support. 🙂
We love the ocean and RNLI – good luck!
Good luck guys!
emacs or vi?
definitely vi.
Just popped back to see how this is going
Good luck from the US
Good luck with the attempt guys, for a brilliant cause!!
2478 comments so far. So that’s 2479 now 🙂
Go team!
Great cause supporting the RNLI, my family have a long association with the Barmouth Lifeboat.
Good lucky!
Mat
Very worthwhile cause, have a comment from me 🙂
Why do SCUBA divers always fall backwards into the water?
– Cos if they fell forwards, they’d still be in the boat!!
Good luck!!!
Good luck with the attempt!
Such a long way off for such a wonderful charity, come on everyone, spread the word!
Lordy, if only the RNLI were masters of saving people from their own embarassment. They could be entirely funded by the reality tv industry… 😉
Hope you make it. Interesting concept 🙂
The RNLI are brilliant! Living in a town where there’s an RNLI lifeboat, as I do, I just think it’s a shame they don’t send the flare up any more, to signify a shout. When they did that, we all knew what was about to happen and our thoughts were with the crew as they went on their heroic way! Good luck with the record attempt, btw 🙂
Some people seem to be forgetting the comments must be at least 10 characters
Good luck with this hope you reach the record and beat it…
Good luck with the record attempt!
Getting there!
Chris G
emacs or vi? neither, my vote goes to nedit!
Good Luck 🙂
Good luck.
Soo glad I do not have to read all of these 🙂
Good luck!
Hi Darren
Keep up the good work
Best of luck
I’m nearly blind but thanks for the offer lol
fantastic idea. hope it works.
Good Luck Tref!! Great cause 🙂
Think we will just about make it, here is hoping
I think this is a great idea but we seem to have a long way to go yet….
Good Luck!!!!
If you are bored we can have a debate and raise some money, what say you champ or chump?
We can do this!
yeah!!!!
Lets Play anagrams.
starting word is………………. Newark!!
any suggestions?
[…] To get involved and help contribute towards the record breaking attempt then all you need to do is post a comment over on the blog post here. […]
OK Champ!! what shall we debate about?
Hope you raise the money, to help fund the amazing service you provide. Thank you, and good luck 🙂 <3
#24comment Well done Tref, a very worthwhile cause
My some was rescued from the cliffs at Aberystwyth thanks to the coastguards. The RNLI should never be taken for granted as you never know if one day you may need them.
good luck #comment24 #teamfollowback
Great charity – used them when I was at sea – good luck with the attempt on the record but more importantly with the charity.
\o/ #comment24
Good Luck!
D’oh! My SON was rescued!!!
thats a bit of a rude one Stuart!!! im too much of a lady to comment!
Dusty,
what do you mean???
Comment comment comment 🙂 Keep it going Tref!
Raising lots of money for RNLI 🙂
Anagram of Newark ? W*nk*r !
really great cause…let’s make this happen!
Good Luck
Dear Stuart,
If you’re of a technical persuasion, perhaps you might consider using the same naming convention used for your servers at work. Greek gods is a common one, and could be wonderfully entertaining when applied to small fish.
With that in mind…
Orange fish – mars
Blue Fish – neptune
Silver & Black Stripey Fish – mercury
and a grey Frog – Flora – which of course stands for frog, lord of remarkable aquariam
#comment24 oops i got the tag incorrect
And it has started !!!
Try another one Stu . that was a bit easy!
and spread the word on Facebook and Twitter #comment24
Oh Dear !!!
I think you’ll find this is a comment 🙂
Best of luck. Never needed their services but appreciate what they do
You’ve got to love Newark for it’s anagram 🙂
Keep posting people.
#comment24 #RNLI are a absolute requirement for an island nation such as ours
Pentheraphobia is the name of the phobia related to the fear of your mother-in-law, How many suffer from this 🙂
whats started!
Great news for a great charity. The RNLI do an amazing job in all weathers and deserve all the funds you can raise
Will this #comment24#RNLI marathon influence the debate on blogs without comments headed by MG Siegler, MacStoreis & Mike Gemell?
Good luck – here’s to a big record #comment24
Here we go: Television is a bad influence. Round one.
Tref, it’s really picking up now as people with lots of followers start to post this on their social media profiles…
Dawn @ surfergirl Whats started what where when and have I missed it all
nearly home time 🙂 really hope we do this guys .. its been fun today!
All the best with the efforts guys!
Hope you raise lots of money out of it! 🙂
Fun fund-raising idea for a very serious cause – good luck with it.
I did, but the Dr prescribed me with a sledge hammer which worked.
An excellent idea for a record attempt. I hope everybody goes over to the Just Giving donations page > http://www.justgiving.com/Trefor-Davies
And make the comments count – too short is no good. If you can’t think of anything to say, copy this!!
Kept me laughing at work 🙂
let’s hope the other time zones catch on
Nothing to debate there Bela. TV is such a bad influence on all levels as far as im concerned!!
Great cause.
Agree with you both there!
Can’t wait for Christmas. Usually quiet on the briney.
I agree with Dawn, Home Time 😀
Good Luck, Tref, I am sure we can do it!
The RNLI do great work help them with this world record attempt #comment24
Is someone ringing the bell then !?
Fingers crossed
Anything for the RNLI. #comment24 #RNLI
RNLI is a brilliant service and deserves all the help it can get.
That’s a whole lot of comments you still need to collect. Bit worrying since we’re at nearly 5pm and you only have a couple of thousand from what I can see – you need to turn off Akismet so you get all the Russian spam 🙂
I hope we do well.
Good Luck Tref!!
Ladies,
Let your hubby’s know about the blog when you get home. It will give them something to do while you watch, eastenders, corrie, emmerdale, one birn every minute, peter andre, etc etc.
Is this thing on?
Great idea, let’s do it!
Please remember karaoke starts here at eight PM
I hope us agreeing is not going to be a trend, how about this one: People playing loud mobile games on the tube should be banned.
I would but Danny loves them programmes even though he wont admit it lol 😉
The best of British to you – hope you break the record for this worthy cause
I was going to beat the world record, but i took an arrow to the knee.
Fanny Chmelar – A real person or not?
Will post the link in a bit for the answer, dont google it 🙂
Great work done by all members in all kinds of weather
Go for the win!
This is pretty awesome, but there’s a long way to go!
Good luck with the world record!
You can all go home early today as long as you tell all your mates
Good luck folks, a worthy cause !!
I’m with Danny on the Tv programs “eastenders, corrie, emmerdale, one birn every minute, peter andre, etc etc.” are brilliant 😀
Good luck with the attempt!
Anyone that supports those that put their lives at risk to save other’s is worthy of plenty of comment. Good luck in your endeavor.
good luck with this
Another chance to help out the RNLI here after our recent charity gig – get on #comment24 Good Luck guys!
Testing Testing ready for the karaoke, But every time i start to sing my partner reaches for the gaffa tape and here is me i have a voice of an angle really i do you know.
Both my boyfriend and my dad proudly share their birthdays with the RNLI. Freudian analysis aside, it’s an excellent charity and deserves our support & recognition.
I agree with you liam !! i love em!!
Best of luck with this – hope you raise loads of cash for a cause that could save any one of the commenters’ lives.
Best Of Luck! RNLI is a fantastic cause!
An excellent idea for a record attempt. I hope everybody goes over to the Just Giving donations page > http://www.justgiving.com/Trefor-Davies

Best of Luck
Great Idea, good luck! 🙂

I wonder where the tipping point will be… how long til it really begins to snowball?
Great idea – hope we become part of the record
Wunderbar !
Good luck with the fundraising and record attempt.
Good Luck
Fantastic idea and a great cause!
great cause. have asked my MP to comment here but can’t see his name yet. Is there going to be an archive somewhere?
Hope you raise a lot of money for a wonderful cause!
Im leaving a message from the Ski Jump hotel in Pragelato, Italy! Good luck with your attempt Tref 🙂
Very best of luck with your record attempt and I hope you raise a good amount for a very deserving cause.
Hopefully everyone that comments will also post about this attempt on Twitter, Facebook etc for you too.
Best of luck once again,
Graham
I have also asked my mp to comment and I have looked right through the list but can’t see her.
Great idea lets hope it works and raises a lit if money for the RNLI
All the very best ! Hope you make it
I asked our MP (Tim Farron) and he has commented. So some MPs are digital!
Only because bloody Terry told me too! Good luck!
Cheers
Rob
Great cause.
Has anyone asked @rorystewartUk? he’s a digital mp too. I will ask him.
yeeee go for it
hope u get the goal
HUKD folks are with you
Good luck people! It’s 5pm now so we’ve got to hope the pace picks up!
RNLI yay!
Looks like it’s going to be a long night!
I went to the doctor and asked him to give me something for wind…
He gave me a kite 😀
nice one good luck
Thought you needed a helping hand so we’ve been tweeting this out and have added it to Facebook. Good luck!
Hope it all goes well. Will retweet now 🙂
Good luck! This is our contribution.
“I’m Ivan Dobsky the Meat-Safe Murderer, only I never done it!”
Good luck, from me a dougle34
Back needed to setup laptop hope we make it to the magic number
Good luck RNLI on your record attempt, very worthy cause.
Ahhh! I overselpt. I meant to get up really, really early so I could leave my comment – but was very busy last night, hacking away. I fell asleep with my face in the keyboard. This Mac Keyboard is much nicer to sleep on than your regular PC keyboards. Unlike conventional keyboards, a Mac Keyboard doesn’t leave as deep an imprint in the side of your head…
Still, I’m back at it – hacking away. Just wrote a jQuery colour wheel plugin 🙂
Rob
RNLI is very much this effort
This thread lacks Cialis and Viagra spam.
Great cause. Keep up the good work! Will retweet
Hate watter less it’s had a tea bag in it #comment24 Good luck any way.
All the best! RTing now…
Good luck and fingers crossed
Yeah!
And what is a jQuery colour wheel plugin exactly?
Good luck with the record attempt
And you better still be reading this!
Good luck with your record attempt!
Ok Manley mentioned spam as to be deep fried spam tis the only way
Terry has only posted once, and I’ve posted 3 times already! Great friend he is!
Nearly time to leave people are you still going to comment tonight?
Good luck with it – hope it you manage it!
Am I allowed to leave more than one comment? I know who I can get to spam this board! @lingmops @charlottegore
I guess that is four times now! Come on terry!
Excellent charity, good luck with the record attempt. Hope I never need them
jQuery colour wheel plugin exactly? something to do with the nw fiat punto i think
See you later Belagata 🙂
Good luck RNLI on your record attempt, very worthy cause.
You’re not reading the other messages are you Rob?
Let’s hope this does well! 😀
Just saw this on twitter > @NSIDC_ArcticIce: The Arctic Oscillation has gone positive. http://bit.ly/AkIf0a What does that mean for sea ice and weather?
Aaaahhh… A Fiat??? Is it a tool to choose your lovely contrasting leather interior then?
You have my full support RNLI, great charity and much respect for all the hard work you do.
Surely it is for choosing the wheel colour?
Good luck with the record attempt!!
Home, home, home from the sea Angels of mercy, answer our plea And carry us home, home, home from the[ sea Carry us safely home from the sea.
On a cold winters night With a storm at its height The lifeboat answered the call. They pitched and they tossed Till we thought they were lost As we watched from the harbor wall. Though the night was pitch black, There was no turning back, For someone was waiting out there, But each volunteer Had to live with his fear As they joined in a silent prayer. [Repeat chorus]
As they battled their way Past the mouth of the bay, It was blowing like never before. As they gallantly fought, Every one of them thought Of loved ones back on the shore. Then a flicker of light And they knew they were right. There she was on the crest of a wave. She’s an old fishing boat And she’s barely afloat. Please God, there are souls we can save. CHORUS
And back in the town In a street that runs down To the sea and the harbor wall, They’d gathered in pairs At the foot of the stairs To wait or the radio call. And just before dawn When all hope had gone Came a hush and a faraway sound. ‘Twas the coxswain he roared All survivors on board Thank God and we’re homeward bound. [Chorus]
my work has been ruined today reading all the comments
feel like something worthy should be said, I will leave that to someone else though…
Ahhhh… The wheel colours! I hope it accepts 5 different colours. I want my Punto to be very abstract art-esque!!!
Rob Openshaw no good asking me i’m Agoraphobic so never go out never mind drive 😛
kl
my rising tide research for RNLI leads me to think that a rising tide lifts ALL boats.
Great Cause 🙂
Nick Payne – your comment is too short to qualify!
Good luck…going to need to be a busy evening!
Fantastic cause indeed, I love to support the RNLI and have done for most of my life. Growing up near the sea does that to you. I used to sing in charity carol concerts for them – leaving a comment here is much easier 🙂 Good luck with the challenge.
Phobia Support, I’ve just checked your website, I think I understand now! You can own a Fiat Punto and not drive! They make great ornaments!
Has the order of the comments reversed???
There’s another comment 🙂
great cause hope lots is raised..
schwarzenegger is spelled this way not with a T in the middle
Can I be 2700?
every little helps
Here’s mine, and good luck to the RNLI.
Good luck with it! 🙂
This is a comment.
So I could sit here and post several comments, and they’d all count, as long as they’re different, right?
God – you missed by 2 …. I think
Great idea and a great cause, on a Cisco platform to. Good luck
Good luck from all at HUKD as an OAP myself im in full support, might need to take a blue pill to stay up all night to see the results on this one,
Good work
Guv ov HOT UK DEALS
Ps Elton Chong is my hero and im a big old zero, OAP to the GUV thats me
Rob Openshaw what would i do with the rust that would keep falling off, partner wouldn’t be too happy with that 🙂
Yep. God overshot by 2!
What is the current record?
I’ll be sharing this out on facebook and i’ll tell others to share it as well, hope you can do it 😀
Good luck with this! 🙂
going strong….
Since Wales has a huge coastline and this is a big part of the tourist economy, I support the RNLI.
Good luck, hope you can do it!
Yes Matt, it’s as easy as that.
Check out the Audlem Lass, a water taxi that operates from Overwater Marina into Audlem Village. Cost is a donation to the RNLI on the boat.
When we need you, you are there……… and now when you need us, where is everyone? HEEEEEELP! Target is miles off, please get everyone you know to come to the rescue of such a worthwhile cause.
Great cause. Wonderful work done. Good luck with the record attempt.
A very worthy cause. We set up a direct debit with the RNLI last summer.
What if I was to write a script, which wrote like me… and auto posted? Would that count – or would that defeat the record? In any case.. trying to build a script that thinks like me presents some interesting challenges…
Hmmmm…
I might do it one day… #RobBot
have shared on facebook, asking my friends to keep this up overnight.
I see no reason why each person cannot leave more than one comment. That is what happens on discussion boards.
Great idea, fantastic cause! The work done by these great volunteers should always be recognised!!! I hope you raise lots of money, well done raising the profile of the RNLI and helping them continue their selfless, dangerous life saving work! 🙂
Come on, only 97,287 more #comments24 to go!
I really want comment 3000
Phobia Support, hhhmmm.. Now there is a good question…
This has now become the “1001 things you cna do with rust” discussion!
1. How about collect the rust, mix it with aluminium to make thermite?
Let’s keep this page rocking to the beat of our comments.
Hey ho!
Is this a question?
If that is a question, this is an answer.
gonna have to keep close eye on things, its hometime now and lots of people will tweet from trains… if they can get a connection that is.
Having said that though – I need some serious hardware, akin to what @tref is running his world record attempt on in order to hit a comment every second….
And I guess that would give the game away – for if I was to post a comment every second…. well thats only slightly faster than I can physically type….
So, I conclude that my bot would be found out, and would not pass any turin test.
Getting there …..
A very hardworking cause
It’s all for a good cause!
Good luck with this.
hello my name is jim and i support farming sheep and livestock-commented
good luck!
You have the full backing of everyone at HUKD. We love you. Come on!
valgono anche commenti in italiano?
Do comments in italian count?
Hope you achieve the record.
Hmmm… I wonder if I can use this comment board as a way of naming and shaming all my bad clients. One guy owes me money, and doesn’t return my calls….
Mmm bop, ba duba dop
Ba du bop, ba duba dop
Ba du bop, ba duba dop
Ba du…
I did not know that thermite was a mix of rust and aluminium. I presume the aluminium takes the oxygen from the rust and leaves iron.
lots of supportin’.com
Of course, I have plenty of good clients. I like the good ones.
Come on the big fella !
Good luck hope you make the record…!!!
I am not a celebrity. But I am commenting because they don’t. This is the common people doing something good. Well done everyone.
use for rust:
2. Collect it up and allow your parter to use it as a hair dye? (I hope the other half likes red as a hair colour!)
Good luck! Hope you do well 😀
meow said the cat
Where have all the comments gone? I had a massive list of them here a moment ago… I was about to start reading them….

and anything with a UK plug!
Wow! @Rob Openshaw, you can use rust to capture CO2?? COOL!! 🙂
Not looking too good – been going for nearly 12 hours and less than 3000 comments?? Or are there loads more hiding somewhere ?
Even though Burton’s not on the coast we still value the RNLI. Way to go!
I’m 2800! (I hope)
Why is it when i order a takeaway and ask how long before it can be picked up its always ten mini never fifteen mini or twenty mini always ten mini
I’d really like comment 2800!

I saw that someone likes bacon, so do I!
I’m hopping here… need the loo, but not going until 3,000 comments is reached!
What a great cause. Good luck and keep going!
Rob Openshaw you got comment 2801 sorry about that
Hey good stuff go life boats!
Glad it’s going well. Hopefully a few different timezones can keep the momentum going over night.

It’s gonna be a Hamlett Cigar moment if I’m not careful. I’m stubborn….
Someone metion bacon ,
Bacon and cheese for me please.
Great cause hope you make the record!
Go team, go!
I’m having fish for my tea. I wonder how many fisherman have been saved by RNLI? Answers on a postcard… What is everyone else having for tea. Anything sea related?
Great cause!
Oi Asddsa? What on earth is that – that doesn’t count. Now post something that makes sense 😛 🙂
Hope you make it! Good luck…
Unique!
Glad to see a good cause being supported by this 😀
Hurry up with the posts!!
Good luck with the record – hope it’s well and truly smashed 🙂
Wait – I’m sure comments used to be at the top and now they are at the bottom. What have you been up to Tref?
Keep going! Keep going!
Australia – get involved!
Good luck! Hope you reach your target! (and this Rob guy gets to go to the loo!)
Here is my comment!
Good luck with the Record Attempt!
Where is Tref anyway?
Could that be Robert Openshaw Staffs Uni?
Also I am sure you should have some kind of validation that stops people from just saying Good Luck. How are you going to count up the number of invalid comments … I’m feeling stressed 🙁
Me and my farts are with you

For @Kate Norman I don’t quite no…. Got to go to the shops. I attempted to bake a loaf of bread earlier… put it in the oven and forgot about it.
I now have a brick. One way to build a conservatory…
Here’s hoping you get the record – it’s for a great cause
Yeah – they could write Good Luck Some random name – that would count 🙂
Good luck all. Hope you hit your target!!
So actually, we’re going to need more than 100,000 comments in order to guarantee that the target is met once all the invalid comments have been removed.
Yes Tref!!
Hey – How canI be part of this?
I’ve got cramp in my legs from sitting on the floor, and I need the loo. Hit 3000 comments asap, else I become a martyr
Mike Fuller – that was Rob Openshaw in Cambridge. He may have gone to Staffs Uni many years ago. He will not be posting for a while because his wife called him to go home for his tea!
This is making me stressed..
Go Cisco UCS! Go!
Great cause and all the very best of luck from everyone here at Cisco!
oops…10 characters and all that!!
Good luch but you could have done more publicity, not really the easiest web address is it
From all at HUKD
Salaam alakam
A very worthy cause! Hope that you get the 100K comments – here is mine 🙂
Lots of posts with Good luck i’m guilty of that i think and they will not count so will be needing more than 100,000
This ones to help Rob get to the loo
Good point where is Tref?… Little short stumpy bloke with bad breath if anyone see’s him let us know
Awesome work n every1 takin the time 2 contribute should b proud
Maybe if this comment is witty enough someone will finally love me.
(Less xkcd-plagiarising-ly, excellent cause and idea!)
Fantastic : keep it going : Good Luck
@Rob That’s a shame I love fresh bread with lashings of butter. Not sure what you can make with a bread brick… What do you fancy to eat tonight?
Im an OAP and i support this, i want to rub fish pate into Elton Chong’s thighs
HUKD OLE TIMER
Found you through the Guardian. The article said that comments about someone who’s inspired you, or an organisation who’s inspired you would be nice, so here goes!
One person I really admire and who’s been an inspiration to me is a lady called Janet. She’s in her 60s now, but throughout her life she has gone out of her way to help others. She lives in a house without central heating, hot water or even a fridge, but she’d give you the clothes off her back if she thought you needed them more.
She’s always there for others – the ill in the village, the elderly, anyone who needs a listening ear or some practical assistance. That’s despite the fact that some people tease her because she doesn’t conform to fashion and she looks a bit “alternative”.
She’s raised five kids on her own after her husband left and managed a smallholding as well as a job to keep a roof over their heads and food on the table. And she still got herself further education and learned sign language.
To me she is a symbol of kindness, hard work and sheer determination. If only there were more people like her in the world!
Good luck with your efforts.
Good luck with the world record
What a great fundraising idea – and a great example of collaboration in action. Still some way to go but I’m sure we’ll make it onto Record Breakers yet.
I think Rob should go to the loo. I wonder how many RNLI volunteers have peed off the boat. Did I just say that out loud?
no hope 😀
GOOD LUCK
To that person who needs the loo – i suggest you post some more so we can get to 3,000!
Fantastic cause
Well done.

If a journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step does a world record blog of 100,001 unique comments start with a single comment?
The RNLI…
…whose arm hath bound the restless wave.
Who bidd’st the mighty ocean deep
Its own appointed limits keep…
Thank you for your fantastic work…you’re the real record breakers in my book 🙂
good luck guys 🙂
Liam jade is right I love eastenders!!
go for it, good luck!
There is a tide in the affairs of men, Which taken at the flood, leads on to fortune. Omitted, all the voyage of their life is bound in shallows and in miseries. On such a full sea are we now afloat. And we must take the current when it serves, or lose our ventures.
William Shakespeare
fantastic! Good luck. An awesome charity.
Still a bit to go 😛
Timid men prefer the calm of despotism to the tempestuous sea of liberty.

We are tied to the ocean. And when we go back to the sea, whether it is to sail or to watch – we are going back from whence we came.

Love one another, but make not a bond of love: Let it rather be a moving sea between the shores of your souls.

But let there be spaces in your togetherness and let the winds of the heavens dance between you. Love one another but make not a bond of love: let it rather be a moving sea between the shores of your souls.

Good luck with your fundraising for the Royal National Lifeboat Institution.
long way to go to get to 100,000. – looks like that big server wasn’t needed after all!

When the seagulls follow the trawler, it is because they think sardines will be thrown into the sea.

The irrationality of pi always troubled me. Imagine you have a circle exactly 1 metre in diameter. You cannot know its circumference precisely.

There is nothing quite so good as burial at sea. It is simple, tidy, and not very incriminating.

Good luck to boat people
The sea does not reward those who are too anxious, too greedy, or too impatient. One should lie empty, open, choiceless as a beach – waiting for a gift from the sea.

2 words and 10 characters minimum to qualify for the record attempt!
This feels a lot like Brewster’s Millions – that classic film from 1985, in which Brewster has to waste $30million in 30 days in order to inherit £300 million…
The difficulty in trying to spend £30 million… you’d think it would be easy…
Owh, man not quite at 100,000 just yet. #comment24 keep on pushing!
There is nothing more enticing, disenchanting, and enslaving than the life at sea.

The sea is everything. It covers seven tenths of the terrestrial globe. Its breath is pure and healthy. It is an immense desert, where man is never lonely, for he feels life stirring on all sides.

Writing criticism is to writing fiction and poetry as hugging the shore is to sailing in the open sea.
John Updike
Here’s one extra to the target – awe and respect for the courage and dedication of the RNLI. I find it hard to believe that the greatest seagoing nation in the World has to rely on charity to save its sailors at sea. Long live the RNLI!
