Announcing a new BTM project - The Digg Squad!

What is it?
Our way of getting organized so we can get important articles into the spotlight. Think of it as a phone tree, except all you have to do is click a few buttons!

What's involved?
We'll send an email when we hear about articles that need some attention. You click the link, and DIGG it!

How do I sign up?
Scroll down this page and click the link in my comment below (the one that says CLICK HERE TO JOIN). Check the "Join the Digg Squad" box, scroll down the page and click submit.

That's it!

I want to see at least 500 people signed up by Friday, so get on it ;)

Thanks, everyone - this truly is important, and it WILL work.

Shelly

p.s. You may, of course, opt out at any time, so don't let that prevent you from signing up!

Technicalities about Digg?

I LOVE the Digg idea - I am constantly on there. Shelly, how are we going to know which friends to add to "our group", etc.

Maybe we could put some type of "pre" word before our names so everyone knows we are from BTM.

Just a thought.

BTM functionality

I'm on Digg constantly (http://digg.com/users/brilovett). Rarely do I ever receive emails from BTM suggesting to Digg. Is there a way to set-up my BTM account so it sends me an email every time someone posts?

There is a web page that has all the Diggable links that get pasted into the chat channel listed here:

Shouting is not against the terms of Digg - this is just an alternative shout method which lets people interested in keeping touch with the revolution and abuses going on
at our expense.

The bury brigade is still going strong - telling us that we
can't shout for the revolution is like telling an American they
have to shut up and smile while being taken over by
illegal aliens.

One if by Land
Two if by Sea.........

Thanks for the heads up Heysal. :)

Ummmm...

Why is there only 94 sign-ups as of the time that I write this? C'mon people, we need 500 by Friday (Not sure why Shelly made that demand except for the whole July 4th thing perhaps?) But we only have 94?!? Are we that self-centered as a group that we want to keep the message of freedom and liberty buried within the confines and security of our little community?

agree on youtube as well

Basically we need to hit all the sites at once.

I signed up.
Other who are interested might also want to join this group:
DispatchFreedom@googlegroups.com

We have been 'digging' for quite some time.

excellent idea

I'm in! We also need to make this a youtube squad so we can get videos to the top of the lists.

So, how do we submit stories?

How do we submit stories to the Squad?

So far, the method seems to be to post 'em in this thread, so here's my contribution:

An additional tool for the BtM Digg Squad

Hi Shelly,
I've been helping you guys some in the IRC channel (I set up the #RonPaul channels on 5 of the major IRC networks and am sitting on the #CampaignForLiberty channel name awaiting a reply to an email I sent them) so my skills in the area were quickly drafted by Uncle_Rahn. (I'm also an op in #gentoo on FreeNode and we have 800-1000 users in there at any given time so I'm used to chaos too. :) One of the things I put in there was a bot, No_Matrix, to pull up titles of URL to save the users from having to look them up or the poster from having to type (or paste) them in. Since I had all that information I thought I'd make a web page out of it which you can find here: https://greendragontavern.com/~bots/Public/No_Matrix.shtml

It is a new site so it doesn't have valid certificates yet but I signed that one and the site doesn't ask for any information. I just encrypt everything to piss off the NSA. :) Anyway, on that page you will find four links at the bottom:

Links pasted into #BreakTheMatrix -- All the links the bot has collected
Recent Links -- The most recent 100 links
Diggable Links -- All the links to digg that have been pasted
Recent Diggables -- The most recent 100 Diggable links

The Diggable links would be the ones that would benefit your Digg Squad. Every link to Digg.com that gets pasted in the IRC channel gets added to those two bottom links. I tried this effort in earnest with, at one point hundreds of people in the #RonPaul channels, but to no avail. Don't under estimate the Bury Brigade, they are very formidable. I do wish you the best of luck but I've given up on Digg. My nick there is GentooRiverRat if you want to include me in a group though. The resources I set up for that effort are hosted here: http://brandonhale.us/RonPaul/ with the same links for that channel down in the IRC Stuff section.

Let me know if there is anything I can help with in IRC or C/Asm programming.

Cheers,
Tres
a/k/a RiverRat
