Friends and family of Susan Powell, who has been missing since Dec. 7, want the search for the missing mother of two to go viral.

Starting at 8 a.m. Monday and continuing for the next 72 hours, a social media blitz will be launched with the hope of spreading Powell's image throughout the Internet. The three-pronged plan calls for doubling the number of friends on the "Friends and Family of Susan Powell" Facebook page, using Twitter (http://twitter.com/FindSusan) to spread the reward poster for Powell, and telling people about a Susan Powell YouTube channel through e-mail.

"We are asking those who are following to forward the e-mail on to at least five of their friends from their address book and include links to the Facebook, Twitter, and YouTube channels," said James Hofheins, one of the event organizers. "In the subject line, put 'Forward to five friends.' "

In conjunction with the social media blitz, a purple ribbon campaign will be launched to keep Powell in the public eye. Facebook users are being asked to change their profile pictures to a purple ribbon for Powell.
