03/29/08 - It looks like the Greenwich Time And Advocate Papers Are Taking Notice Of Chris's Blog Posts

Chris told the Greenwich Time And Stamford Advocate what he thought of their annoying CANCER pop ups.

Quote:

"Ironically, under the giant white pop-up reads ‘Tell us what you think of our new design’. In the survey, I described it as malignant"

Stamford Advocate Website Replaces Icon With Giant Cancer

Posted by Chris

On Monday I gave the Stamford Advocate, Norwalk Advocate (which according to my count is one too many Advocates), and Greenwich Time (a mean pun that results in millions of frustrating Google results for Britains bi-annually) a hard time about never replacing the original Sun icon which came with their webservers.

Well, they didn’t take that laying down. Not only have they removed the offending icon, but they have given their sites a facelift as well, replacing their boring old white-text-on-color banners with exciting new white-text-on-GRADIENT-color banners.
(I think someone got Photo-shop for Christmas!)

Two Thumbs Up On The New And Improved Greenwich Time Website.

Some Greenwich Residents Think That Greenwich Roundup Very High Internet Traffic Has Caused The Greenwich Time To Pay More Attention To It's Online News Presence.

Now if the Greenwich Time will just investigate the Hamilton Avenue School parents complaints about Betty "You Can Trust Me" Sternberg's her failed school administrators.

Why is it so hard for a Greenwich Time reporter to call up Betty "You Can Trust Me" Sternberg and ask....

"Hey Betty, What would it hurt to let the Hamilton Avenue School parents test the modular classrooms?

or

"Hey Betty, Didn't you and the Board of Education promise the Hamilton Avenue parents testing that would be independent of the school administration?

If we have said it once, we have said it a thousand times - Greenwich Roundup Is The Most Influential News Website In Town.

We just hope the corporate news giants don't get jealous and try to shut down this not for profit voice for disenfranchised members of Greenwich who are repeatedly overlooked.
