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?

Oh, and if you can post a comment here to let us know that you have submitted us that would be way cool as it would give us a way to gauge the response - both of DaniWeb members but also of Google News should they choose to ignore a large volume of folk making the same suggestion.

I think the DaniWeb blogs are a great news source -- I'm happy to help in any way I can.
Now you're making me curious...

And dont worry it is not something which would harm Daniweb in any way.

Just to let you know there are many people who come here who fall in the age range of 10 - 15 and YES for me these are kids so dont think you are the yongest here 
. I did render help to a child who was 10 yrs old and wanted to start programming.
And when I say kid, it is in the sense they have just started learning programming.
Sheesh.. Dont know why dont kids dont like being called a kid
