Facebook wars: Kyle and Jackie O reopen hostilities

It seems to be quite the social media week for young Kyle Sandilands. Yesterday he joined Twitter, and today, he launched a campaign with co-host Jackie ‘O’ Henderson to get their Facebook page back from their ex employers, 2DayFM.

It’s been well documented they weren’t able to take their Facebook audience with them when they defected from 2DayFm to rivals KiisFM, but despite taking most of their listeners they haven’t been able to grab their Facebook audience back, with only 55,000 fans on their own, compared to 160,000 on the old one.

Now the odds are more stacked against them, as  the Fifi and Jules page transfers to the 2DayFM page , giving them another 369,000 fans, a serious shot in the arm.

Fifi posted a breakup video to her fans on Facebook to say goodbye.

So, in true tongue in cheek style, Kyle and Jackie O did an imitation video.

Dr Mumbo awaits to see whether @kingkyle floods his new Twitter account with #givebacktoday messages.
