2. Thank you for posting. |

And Lifetime TV threw Roseanne out. And that was the only show that I really found enjoyable - despite the two hundred channels available to me.

9. I'm not really seeing the problem |
|
Unless it's a matter of vanity surfing - pasting the title of the article results in the fact that a whole lotta blogs re-posted and/or linked to the original article. The word is getting out and ampedstatus.org is getting a bunch of backlinks which only helps their Google Page Rank.
However, if ampedstatus just wants to see their domain name at the top of Google search results all they have to do is paste:
ampedstatus.org The Long Road to #OccupyWallStreet and the Origins of the 99% Movement
into teh Google machine.

12. Thank you! They are whining IMHO. I 100% agee with this response on their site: |
|
So there are 4450 ways someone can find your article/report. Amped Status comes up first in a google search. Where exactly is the censorship?
I mean, really, what exactly are you complaining about? Try getting 4450 MSM outlets to mention your report, even in passing.
This kind of nitpicking paints serious, involved people with a brush of whiny, navel-gazing self-involvement. It shrieks: I'm not being paid enough attention! Imma hold my breath til I turn blue!
I'm fairly positive that is not the tone you want to set.
If Google had removed all mention of your report, I'd be more sympathetic to the complaint. Nothing pisses me off more than censorship. Unless it's a false claim of censorship.

I think they need to be careful about screaming censorship until they really understand what that entails. 4500 links to their site really beggars the concept of censorship.
