A GROUP OF friends in Dublin has launched a campaign aimed at getting people to log off social networking sites for just one minute this evening.
The #twinutesilence is, according to organisers, a ‘minute to remember’ and ‘pay respects to those who lost their lives and to the family and friends left behind in Norway’.
