Re: [#610358489] Promoting understanding of the level and potential for political discourse as it relates to Connecticut’s 2010 Senate elections.

Thank you for your interest in Google News. We’ve received your suggestion and we’re unable to include it in Google News at this time. We don’t include sites that are written and maintained by one individual. We currently only include articles from sources that could be considered organizations, generally haracterized by multiple writers and editors, availability of organizational information, and accessible contact information.

If you have additional questions, please visit our Help Forum at:
google.com/support/forum/p/news?hl=en

We appreciate your taking the time to contact us and will log your site for consideration should our requirements change.

When I get organized, I’ll submit my blog to google news again and see if I meet their quality guidelines. check out the blog in question, fact-based report on CT 2010 senate election debates. It’s definitely a one author show so far!

DMOZ is a colossal failure

The pride of the directory world, DMOZ was such a favorite that it became Google’s directory, once ranked as well as wikipedia. And what do I see this morning?

It’s back.

A long time client of ours, Coyle Hospitality Group, a reknowned mystery shopping company, is still not listed. I have submitted them over 50 times to this one category. never even heard a peep from an editor.

So I tried again today and get this:

(502) Proxy Error

The proxy server received an invalid response from an upstream server.
The proxy server could not handle the request POST /cgi-bin/add.cgi.

Reason: Error reading from remote server

DMOZ is a Colossal Failure
