Ping -- a ping notifies certain people of this article whom you think might want to see it. When I do a Hillary article, a have a group of people who are on the "ping" list. When they click on a self search for posts sent to them, they just can click the article I pinged them to.

Bump or bump to the top (bttt) -- as someone posts it shows up at the very top of the latests posts....if people think it is something important and they want to make sure it doesn't get lost, they click on the article and either make a comment or just "bump" it...that puts it back to the top of the articles. Actually, it doesn't last there too long because we have 50,000 registered users.
