Thank you for your support Andreas Title: Re: bitcoinpresscenter.org is the true GLOBAL press center - 18 languages! Post by: marcus_of_augustus on May 14, 2013, 07:07:40 AM Good work Andreas. I move that this post be stickied in this section ... (labelled "Press" strangely enough)
... also wondering if there is any policy regarding pseudononymous "experts" getting posted to the press center? Title: Re: bitcoinpresscenter.org is the true GLOBAL press center - 18 languages! Post by: aantonop on May 14, 2013, 07:28:59 AM Thank you for the support.
There is no filtering on the contacts. Here's the FAQ (http://bitcoinpresscenter.org/page/faq), let me know if it needs more clarification. There will be endorsements, reviews, link ratings and such over time to help some contacts bubble up to the top. For now the ranking is random.

I can see that European languages are well represented :) Title: Re: bitcoinpresscenter.org is the true GLOBAL press center - 18 languages! Post by: kiba on May 14, 2013, 11:08:13 PM Need date?

I think your idea just got vetoed by jgarzik who not only didn't make it sticky, but instead pushed it out of the forum. That's probably because it is not about press mentions and citations, so off-topic. Title: Re: bitcoinpresscenter.org is the true GLOBAL press center - 18 languages!

In the old days, initiatives like this would have been welcomed and stickied gratefully. Now the power plays and jealous temper tantrums seem to be the order of things. If this is not press related wtf is?! Title: Re: bitcoinpresscenter.org is the true GLOBAL press center - 18 languages!

[..] I assume that the topic was simply off-topic since the forum is specifically for linking stories in the press. Jeff and I have disagreed, but he's never shown any ill will towards me, not at all. We disagree on some of the means, but we are all pushing for bitcoin's success. |
