3. Geeze, the freeps really come out for these Yahoo articles.

We really need to mobilize more of our own people to get these ratings up on them. It's up to 1.97 now. Still pretty pathetic.

5. It's not the votes, it's the e-mailing!

Someone pointed out here yesterday that the Yahoo! story rankings aren't just based upon those votes, but more heavily weighted towards who e-mails the story to friends. So vote it a 5, and e-mail it to your granny, your ma, and your entire office staff!

ON EDIT == I think it works. It was a 2.07 when I signed on...2.11 after I e-mailed the story to three people. I'm not sure if there is a connection, but it is worth the effort.

7. Hmm, that's a good thing to know about.

I will start emailing these out in addition to just rating them.

9. thanks for the reminder - we need to post the email reminder in the header

10. There's also a Yahoo News category for "Most Emailed," in

addition to "Most Viewed." So that's another way we can increase the visibility of some of these stories.

6. Done, kick, and good morning

8. I find it amazing that people rate a story low, just because

they cannot handle the truth & don't want others to know.

11. Slow and steady wins the race -- up to 2.29 now

We've already gone from the basement to almost halfway there! Kicking it again for The Bugman!
