Oh well, Google has dumped us out of the news index again with all the usual lame excuses which don't hold water such as our feed isn't edited (yes it is, only featured postings are submitted to Google News and they have to be chosen by one of the Staff Writers) or is a one-man operation (again not totally true, I might write most of the featured news entries, but if and when you guys post something newsworthy and relevant it also gets featured - hint hint) and so on.

So here's my cunning plan. As Google is doing the usual head buried in sand so you don't exist, la la la, thing with us, convincing them of the error of their ways is a tad difficult.

But, there is an option for users of Google News to recommend sources to be added to the index. Now considering some of the tat that seems to get credited as a reputable news source, I see no reason why members of Daniweb should not get together and submit us a site worthy of inclusion.

Anyone who wants to help get DaniWeb on the Google News map, please head over to the recommend a news source online form and suggest us with the URL of:

http://www.daniweb.com/blogs/featured-timestamp.html

Maybe if enough of us pester them with genuine requests they will sit up and take notice. Well, it has to be worth a try, doesn't it?
