For the Mods re: Digg campaign:
Via Freepmail: "Go for it! Thanks, Jim"
This page will be kept at the top of "Breaking News"
What we want to do is either post new Digg articles/videos, or identify already existing Digg articles/videos, that tell the REAL STORY of Barack "the socialist revolutionary" Obama. Let's come up with a TOP 5 articles and a TOP 5 videos list and use FReeper power to Digg them to the top so that non-FReepers too become aware of the most dangerous presidential candidate in our nation's history!
Please place all Digg suggestions in the threads. DO NOT PROVIDE LINKS TO NON DIGG ARTICLES AND VIDEOS. IF YOU WANT YOUR ARICLE OR VIDEO TO BE CONSIDERED, PUT IT ON DIGG FIRST AND THEN PROVIDE THE LINK.
Once the top five of each has been identified, let's all sign up over at Digg and DIGG THESE LINKS TO THE TOP!!! Then FReepmail, email, and round up people from every conservative forum you can think of and encourage them to do the same!
Please place your Digg suggestions below. Once we have settled on the initial five articles and five videos, a new post with the links will appear at the top of "Breaking News" and will be kept there!!! Remember, taken together, these links need to tell a story.
So let's get off our rear-ends, bypass the MSM, and get the vote out people!!!
It does, but this is not my project. I tried to make a suggestion along the lines of what the stated goals were. If this wasn’t helpful, then I apologize. Take care.
Since Jim Robinson appears to be one of these supportrers, are you trying to run him off of FR? I still donj't understand this thing, but if I figure it out maybe I will take part. I don't have ANY idea what it means to "twitter" either, and I thought I was something of an early adapter.
Sometimes you have to do more than preach to the choir....
The difference is that users can "digg" articles - in essence vote for them. Users can also comment on articles, and other users can "thumbs up" or "thumbs down" those comments.
Users can also "bury" articles. It doesn't change the number of votes for the article, but it does make it harder to get the article to become popular.
When articles become popular (a lot of diggs / a lot of comments / not a lot of buries) they go to the "Front Page" of digg. This is what many, many people use to get their news. People refresh the front page of Digg and check it a lot like people check Drudge - to see what's going on and what others find interesting. The goal is to get articles to the front page of digg and get the conservative message out there.
A number of us have been trying to push conservative articles to diggs front page for a long time now, but it is very hard because it is infested with libs.
If someone posts a digg link here, you click it and go to that article to vote / comment. You won't be exposed to the lib agenda articles under that scenario.
What is a Diggs page? I heard the term but don’t know what it’s about.
find later - post 14
Was tried and all the loud minority crucified John for it. wasnt a pretty sight.
This IS improving FR, by projecting our numbers/influence where all the non-FReepers are. Digg will never replace FR because it is populated by the entire political spectrum. The point is not to sit over there and argue with all the tards, it’s to use FReeperPower to Digg conservative articles to the top, and eventually, to do the same on other forums. Who wants to argue with a bunch of libs? Certainly not me! Certainly, not the vast majority of FReepers. That’s why we’re here!!!
What’s slashdot?
Improving FR is not up to us, but the Robinsons. You do know that they own the software, right? They do take suggestions, but we can’t change anything ourselvess.
An RSS feed is how a website is able to broadcast a content update. Once a posting/article has been added the RSS feed picks it up and pushes it out to the people who subscribe to it. If you type in the URL of the feed you can see all of the stuff that gets posted.
Well, it looks like you new-fangled digging whippersnappers have got something there.
Say, you know when I started on the internet we had to upload and download in the snow- and uphill both ways...
You and I are trapped by our..uh...never mind..Digger Phelps...
man we are not trapped that bad. LOL
Great.
Thanks.
Will try to comply on breaks from my class administrivia.
A number of us are already on Digg trying to bump up conservative articles and videos. We need more.
It's advantageous to all of us conservatives to try to actually convert people on the fence once in a while with good, strong conservative information. This is a way to do that.
Or we could just let the libs have it and put their information out to hundreds of thousands of swing voters a day unchallenged.
You mean there's other stuff on the internet besides FR?
Well, I'll be danged.
Who da thunk it?
