Title: Happy Dump GoDaddy Day!
Post by: Orbit45244 on December 29, 2011, 07:04:22 AM
I would encourage all Bitcoin and Namecoin users to participate in Dump GoDaddy Day (http://www.google.com/search?q=dump+godaddy+day), as SOPA (http://www.google.com/search?q=SOPA) is a direct threat to not only the open internet, but to Bitcoin and Namecoin as it outlaws any technology that can be used to circumvent the anti-piracy provisions in SOPA.

Happy Dump GoDaddy Day, Death To SOPA!

A LMGTFY link is inapropriate when you are trying to tell people about something.

Becuase Google appears to be biased towards new results, the results from the search will change over time. This may or may not be your intended effect. You are essentially betting that it becomes a historic event, not one of a series of smaller events.

Thanks for the feedback. I find LMGTFY links to be fascinating and engaging, but I can see how they are inappropriate for this situation.

For now I've changed the links to regular Google links, I'll change them to news articles when I get off of work.

Just transferred my blog from GoDaddy to HostGator (use the discount code NOSOPA to get 50% off).  If you transfer your domain to Namecheap and use the code SOPASucks, they will donate $1 to the Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF).  Supposedly, EFF has received over $9,000 today thanks to Namecheap.
