Google says its fiber contest received "more than 1,100 community responses and more than 194,000 responses from individuals."
(click map to enlarg) "Each small dot represents a government response, and each large dot represents locations where more than 1,000 residents submitted a nomination. We plan to share a complete list of government responses and an updated map soon."Over the coming months, we'll be reviewing the responses to determine where to build. As we narrow down our choices, we'll be conducting site visits, meeting with local officials and consulting with third-party organizations. Based on a rigorous review of the data, we will announce our target community or communities by the end of the year.
..."and each large dot represents locations where more than 1,000 residents submitted a nomination."
I submitted mine on day 1. Too bad 999 more Greensboro residents didn't do the same.
I guess it just goes to show what I've been saying for years, "Greensboro sucks."

Here's a link to the Santa Monica Google video. Not as good as I expected.

Seems like Google likes the stunts after all.

They may be calling it an April Fool's joke, but I think Google and Topeka are sniffing each other's butts...I mean, taking their relationship to another level.

Huh? From what I can tell, there is a dot over Greensboro. It is hard to say with certainty -- which is why I'm not convinced you know what you are talking about, Billy, when you say 999 other Greensboro residents did not do the same.

BTW, Billy, I consider you a friend, but I think you were pretty dishonest to run for mayor and not let us know then that you think "Greensboro sucks."
