Update 4/10/10 4:45 p.m. - Kari Chisholm of Mandate Media gently informed me that the googlefiber domain is not owned by Google. So there is a question as to whether this is a legitimate part of Google's decision-making process, or not. I will ask staff to check into it more on Monday.
Update 4/12/10 - Staff agrees with Kari, we don't believe this is a legitimate component of the decision-making process.
Picture me as Emily Litella: "Never mind".
Please go to http://www.googlefiber.com/fiber-optics/ and vote for Portland!
Google is keeping a close watch over the participation from individuals and city representatives to bring their city into Google’s notice
To decide the Most Deserving City for Google Fiber, Google has chosen Open Polling. They say they want the most reactive, effort making and responsive city to come out on top and win this Challenge, and they have chosen probably the best and simplest method for deciding the winner. Direct voting. So please, VOTE!
Go to http://www.googlefiber.com/fiber-optics/ once per day, every day, and vote for Portland.
Oregonians have the highest voter turnout rate in the country, and we could surely use the jobs and improved technology winning this competition would bring. Please help!
