[LCM Articles] Giyus.org

[Ayah Bdeir]

A group of us have been working on an application just like the giyus, and
we already have something working, but still needs a bit of testing and
finetuning. 

For now, we're calling it glyus (give Lebanon your united support) as
alberto suggested, but we're wondering if it might look too copycat-y and
maybe another name would be better.

Suggestions?

-ayah

Hello,

I forwarded the email that Alberto wrote to my email list and I found out
that GIUS.org is backed up by the Israeli foreign ministry and that it will
take at least 10 days to write the code for a similar program. A team will
need to follow up on screening the new polls that are showing up on the net
and feeding them to the application. If you are interested in helping,
please let me know.

Della

A quick thought

 

In recent days, we have received quite a few calls to vote for CNN surveys
or others in order to voice our opinion.  You might be interested to know
that as we receive email forwards and get busy forwarding them in return,
the folks at giyus (Give Israel Your United Support) have automated the
process making it a lot simpler to be quickly informed of these surveys and
automatically vote pro-Israel with one click.  Check out:

 <http://www.giyus.org/> http://www.giyus.org/

The vote button does not offer a choice.  It automatically votes on their
behalf If readers click it (be warned).

 

You will also get a compendium of articles, videos with satellite
pinpointing at fire origin location, blogs, RSS feeds.

 

If some of you are technically skilled and can create a similar website
(GLYUS  as in Give Lebanon Your United Support) with an RSS and a tool to
aggregate news, information, photos and videos, it would help decrease the
number of emails with article attachments, or powerpoint slides being
circulated, and would increase the efficiency and effectiveness with which
information is exchanged.  People could also react to polls automatically
and share views, blogs, etc...

 

A.
