Althecat Is Bushed... A REQUEST - How U2 Can Help Scoop Rock The world...
Hi... you look like an industrious bunch of go getters. The following is really easy.. but as explained in the SCOOP/DIEBOLD UBERPOST one small link can make a world of difference in the online news world.

We need to get Yahoo to work better for us on the diebold story.

GO TO...
http://add.yahoo.com/fast/help/news/cgi_fullcoverage.

CUT AND PASTE THE REST OF THIS Message into the box and submit... or write your own message.

....SNIP....

Dear Yahoo Editors,

RE: http://scoop.co.nz/mason/features/?s=usacoup

Two weeks ago Scoop media New Zealadn broke Bev Harris's scoop story on US voting machine security that is currently featuring in the features section of the

YAHOO! US Elections Full Coverage page.

It is now the top rating Sci-Tech story in Google News and is rocking the world.

Scoop is THE BEST SOURCE FOR BREAKING NEWS on this issue and has been following it since November 2002.

I think the....

A Very American Coup - Scoop Feature Page link

http://scoop.co.nz/mason/features/?s=usacoup

Should be included in the related sites section of the page.

Kind Regards

XXX

... SNIP....

It will take all of a minute to do. Once they get 50 requests I reckon they will find it hard to ignore. A few 1000ers kicking this thread might also help.

Hey Yahoo,

RE: http://scoop.co.nz/mason/features/?s=usacoup

Scoop media New Zealand has had the dope on the Bev Harris Bomb Shell featured on your

YAHOO! US Elections Full Coverage page.

Google Sci-Tech is kicking Yahoo butt on this

Scoop has been all over this since
November 2002.


A Very American Coup - Scoop Feature Page link

http://scoop.co.nz/mason/features/?s=usacoup

Needs to be in the 'related sites' section of the page.

YO!!! Love Yahoo, Love to make it Better

9. Did mine yesterday -- it's called "the tipping point" folks
and allthecat is showing us one more way to push. We are THIS CLOSE to a story with legs, but in my opinion, not there yet, we're still heading uphill, need to reach the tipping point so we can watch it all roll downhill.

Please do this, use your own words...

21. Sorry... I meant to say media monitor links should be here..
Thanks DU Reader...

Media monitor links on this really should be here... which I notice you have been kicking too. You are a rock! A gemlike rock.

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_topic&forum=104&topic_id=82935&mesg_id=82935&page=

There is a method to all this... this page is designated on

http://scoop.co.nz/mason/features/?s=usacoup#usa..

as the main thread for live headline links...and alerts... we will be pushing a stready traffic of newbies to this subject into DU through this door. Especially once Yahoo turns on the juice...

kick... probably not... I reckon five more would do it. Some Yahoo staff work the weekend. But I am not sure if they monitor Full Coverage submissions...

Even if we only get the link Monday morning and they go wild on us then that will be extremely excellent....

28. Another Tack.. if Yahoo has gone to sleep then there's BUZZFLASH
T0: buzzflash@buzzflash.com, thebuzzflash@aol.com
SUBJECT: NewsFlash

******

Dear Buzzflash,

Scoop's traffic on...

http://scoop.co.nz/mason/features/?s=usacoup#usa

Is starting to lag... could you perhaps repost... this is arguably the authoritative page on this saga. So maybe it deserves it.. Plus it has been updated.

Suggested Text..

A VERY AMERICAN COUP - "THIS WAS NOT A FLUKE" - SCOOP EDITOR
The writer and publisher report on... How The Story Was Broken - See Inside A Scoop.

http://scoop.co.nz/mason/features/?s=usacoup#usa

BUZZFLASH.COM ROCKS THE WORLD!

Alastair Thompson

New Zealand

*****

As bev says... Personalised emails will maximise their wanting to take it seriously. The important thing is to put NewsFlash in the subject line.

I wonder if WhatReallyHappened are still on the case... Will email them too...

34. Dear Michael... a really really really big favour to ask...
WHATREALLYHAPPENED.COM Rocks the world with Bev. Harris

SUBJECT: Dear Michael... a really really really big favour to ask...
TO: Michael Rivero - http://www.whatreallyhappened.com

Scoop calling. You are by far the staunchest on the sites on E-Voting I know of. Not to mention 911. And your traffic is incredible.

How bout a link to.

http://scoop.co.nz/mason/features/?s=usacoup

Near the top... In the panel you have set up.... ideally.

You can take a local copy too of you like you did for the other ones. Pages that is. Would be good if Bev did the same on blackboxvoting.org... Everybody else who wants to is welcome to do so too. Scoop has awful transmission times to the states for some networks I expect... But I have also tuned down the Front page... a bit and can easily do so some more once the traffic comes on.



... Scoop will reciprocate with a Fire The Liar cartoon on Scoop's Front Page ...

http://www.scoop.co.nz/mason/#usa
... is a smaller version set in a NZ context ...

Most of the links on these page segments go out of scoop... they go everywhere man..

Slashdot precautions....

http://scoop.co.nz/mason/features/?s=usacoup


I am seeking a slashdot link... to the same page... and one on Yahoo Full Coverage. Buzzflash has also been rallied to the cause. If everybody posts this link then we may well have problems again. Hence the local copy taking precaution idea. Even if we do go down... the story will keep on rolling..... and the key source material is not only on Scoop. It's on you DU & Blackboxvoting.com. Plus The Inquirer in the UK.

http://www.theinquirer.net/?article=10393

Perhaps you could ask WRH Slashdotters to submit.. That would be totally cool.

http://slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=03/07/24/153258&mode=thread&tid=103&tid=126&tid=128&tid=99

But while it was slashdot that took us out last time. With a sudden peak. Over the first three days during the peak

http://www.whatreallyhappened.com/

WRH is our top referrer... NO 1# By a country mile... and for that you get a chorus of.

WHATREALLYHAPPENED.COM Rocks the world with Bev. Harris
WHATREALLYHAPPENED.COM Rocks the world with Bev. Harris
WHATREALLYHAPPENED.COM Rocks the world with Bev. Harris

WHATREALLYHAPPENED.COM Rocks the world with Bev. Harris

See here...
http://www.scoop.co.nz/mason/stories/HL0307/S00110.htm

Scroll to the bottom of the page... and you will see a bit that looks like this.

*********
Finally, according to Scoop's own logs the following have been the top 910 referring pages to Bev Harris's "Inside A U.S. Vote Counting Program"
The links go to referral pages.

http://www.scoop.co.nz/mason/stories/HL0307/S00110.htm

And so many of the others too... have a look.

Note this page has a redsheriff code embedded in it (we have recently signed up to try to sell advertising) you can delete it if you want. But if you leave it I can monitor traffic extremely accurately. I will be happy to share all information.
I have already shared a fair bit on DU.org..

http://scoop.co.nz/mason/features/?s=usacoup

Linking to this page... The Eyes and Ears of The E-Voting Team... would also be very cool.

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_topics&forum=104

http://www.slashdot.org

The submission I made to Slashdot... was posted on DU early this morning. I called it the Scoop/DIEBOLD UBERPOST and posted it here... it is a bit loose. But this is a very big day for am amazing community of people over here.

"The Scoop/Diebold UBERPOST:

1) Ratings and Rantings from the South Pacific

I don't know but probably....

We could retire this thread and move discussion of net promotion issues to here...

It's a letter to Michael Rivero who basically saved this story audience wise last time round...

See...
http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_topic&forum=104&topic_id=86094&mesg_id=86094&page=

I fear that unless this new threa receives a very thorough kicking then it will drop off... altogether.

Slashdot and Whatreally happened are where the traffic came from last time.... if you can kick the shit out of this now please.

Ring Geeks...

****

At present Google is not indexing the Scoop Headlines (aka Scoops) Wire.. which contains all the Scoop stories on this, bev's stuff etc. You can ask them to start doing so by emailing.

news-feedback@google.com

Tell them you want them to start indexing this page.

http://www.scoop.co.nz/mason/news/scoops.html

This post explains why this is a good idea.. from Pat's awesome page of links thread.]
