NR Top 10 JANUARY 2008
James Loving - National Radio Text Service - Saturday January 26, 2008
Racist Radio is our oldest highest ranking story. It was written 10 years ago - He seems to be older than dirt and in the boxing game Don King has been around a long time. We reviewed an HBO unauthorized telefilm on his life. This story seems to have Kings shelf life - The July 2007 NR Top 10 leads the pack for our first top 10 ratings this year. This makes that column the highest and most consistent NR Top 10 finisher - SEARCH ENGINES GUILTY OF INTERNET THEFT?
NR TOP 10 The July 2007 NR Top 10 ratings leads the pack for our first top 10 ratings this year. This makes that column the highest and most consistent NR Top 10 finisher. Ronan and Paris Hilton appear to be the driving force of interest in that article in which our Video Beat/television column recorded seven of the 10 positions. Our NBA Trivia column focuses on the connections with the city of Philadelphia and the NBA. Kobe Bryant is featured as well as yours truly. Please excuse our carte blanche. Cambodia's Angkor Wat Temples returns to the Top 10 taking the third spot. Thailand's young footballer Teerathep Winothai notched two places on the list. Our story on those involved in human trafficking noting IOM's activity continues to move higher on the chart and took the sixth spot. It seems that NR readers are football crazy (excuse us ESPN Singapore) as stories on the sport notched six places on the list. Our fastest rising story was a Video Beat column in December dealing with the unfair treatment a contestant was given while another was permitted numerous liberties on the Pinoy Big Brother Celebrity Edition show. This was a classic example of a double standard of do as I say and not as I do. Also included in that article were: CAMBODIA'S FRESHIE CONTEST RETURNS - AMAZING RACE USA - AMAZING RACE ASIA. Racist Radio is our oldest highest ranking story. It was written 10 years ago during the time I was reporting on the MLB (Major League Baseball). On my way to Dodger Stadium I couldn't believe what I was hearing on the radio. The details are in that story. He seems to be older than dirt and in the boxing game Don King has been around a long time. We reviewed an HBO unauthorized telefilm on his life. This story seems to have Kings shelf life. The Top 5 most visited sections are: 1. NR TOP 10 2. Soccer 3. Phnom Penh 4. FIFA stories The PREVIOUS Top 3 most visited sections were: 1. Thailand 2. Phnom Penh 3. Travel Tips INTERNET THEFT? In researching the findings we have found that search engines Yahoo, Google and MSN are all guilty of misleading the public. They have linked our story information to other sites without our permission. Those sites include Thai Visa, Washington University in the USA and UNESCO. We have tried to contact Yahoo regarding this matter but there was no response. For our story on Digital Divide Data titled Bridging The Digital Gap Yahoo linked our information to UNESCO and Washington University web sites as noted below. Cambodia (PDF) 13 James Loving, "DDD - Bridging the Digital Gap of Have and Have. Notes," (by James Loving, National Radio Text Service, 8 April 8, ... www.unescobkk.org/fileadmin/user_upload/ict/Metasurvey/CAMBODIA.PDF - 117k - View as html The questions are: 1. Why would a company that is valued at billions of dollars employ dishonest practices? 2. Who is responsible for manipulating information that is misleading to the public? 3. Who is responsible at UNESCO in permitting the practice? Yahoo used the same story to mislead the public to the Washington University (USA) web site as noted below: Cambodia (PDF) 13 James Loving, "DDD - Bridging the Digital Gap of Have and Have. Notes," (by James Loving, National Radio Text Service, 8 April 8, ... www.com.washington.edu/ict4d/upload/2004052712430458_03760155.pdf - 117k - View as html WASHINGTON UNIVERSITY Our Roman Wanderaugh columns have been linked to other web sites by all three search engines without our permission. The most flagrant violator is Thai Visa. We have contacted them in the past but they have ignored our request to take our stories off their site. All three of the mentioned search engines have used our story information and linked it to Thai Visa without our permission. Thai Visa actually stole our story and posted it on their site. In the past they not only stole our Cambodia By Land & Sea story but also used our photo. Since that time the photo is not on our story on their site. Google provides advertising for the site. The question is why would a company that is worth billions of dollars resort to supporting a web site that steals? The information of our information page on the Google site also had the following endorsing going to the Thai Visa site. ©2007 Google - Google Home - Advertising Programs - Business Solutions - About Google FRONT PAGE WITH THAI VISA MSN did the same. They listed incorrect information and linked our work to Thai Visa as noted below: Thaivisa.com The latest updated Thai visa immigration news; work permit and residence permit in ...

It raises the question why was it necessary to make two listings on the same story to link to the Thai Visa site? Roman Waderaugh and any other National Radio columns are only legally available on the Internet on National Radio. We DO NOT GIVE PERMISSION for any other web site to use our material including soliciting our photos to the public. We negotiate directly with interested parties for use. We are published in print in five languages. We do not approve of Thai Visa using our material and all of the search engines misleading the public to other web sites using National Radio information. Isn't a search engines job to lead the public to the information they seek? It is clearly stated on our National Radio web site: © Copyright: National Radio. Any use of these materials, whole or in part, is prohibited unless authorized in writing by National Radio. Contact: nationalradio@yahoo.com All rights reserved. The questions are: 1. Where is the integrity of these companies? 2. Why should people do business with web sites that employ illegal practices? 3. If search engine companies render misinformation regarding linking the public to web sites they aren't searching for while stealing the traffic from the site the public intends to reach does that reflect on the accuracy of the value of their business that could inflate the value of their stock? 4. Is there an ENRON in the house? We believe that a search engine should take the public to the web sites they are trying to find and not misdirect them. FULL STORY NEXT MONTH.
