Actually.. the news and the huge politicizing of it already brought it to attention...
And now that even more time has passed.. how many have the hashtags freed now????
Hashtags are not meant to free hostages. They're meant to garner attention. It's silly hypocritical Conservatives who are attacking the strawman of their own creation that the hashtag was meant to somehow coerce Boko Haram to free the girls.
Meanwhile, the hashtag has drawn huge attention. That's a success.
Only in liberal lalaland does attention=success. By this barometer the Kardashians are wildly successful.

Since the purpose of the hashtag was to gain attention and since it gained a huge amount of attention, then yes, it was a success in that regard. Silly hypocritical righties can deny that success, but that doesn't mean it wasn't a success.
