Have any of you seen this site? They have a Facebook profile and seem
to have a list of all the cities that have applied. They are also
running a pole where people can vote for their city. It is definitely
not an official Google project but it worth checking out.

Thanks.

I saw this as well and after reading the tweets about the numbers, I think it may be a hoax put on by the folks in NC. The previous tweets from the account associated with it take you to the FB page, which is nothing but folks from the Carolina’s. I then did a whois, and it isn’t Google, it’s a guy in India.

I wouldn’t put a whole lot of stock in it. Might be a ploy.

Just a thought guys.

It's definitely NOT officially google. They say they aren't affiliated. How they got the "short list" I don't know - but that may have some merit.

Thanks,

Vera

I was wondering if it was a specific city collecting intelligence. Thanks Adele for the heads up.

I think it's only a list of cities they put together that they know applied. No validity to it from google.

All,

If anyone is still alive out there, there is a site that says Chanute Kansas has the best chance to win the GoogleFiber.

Duluth, by the way is ranked third. Their mayor must have jumped in the river again.

Here is the site: Fiber For All

On another note, if anyone knows someone who has the skill set of Linux, php, .asp, and joomla, and other related languages, please send them to me as I am looking for someone to help with our current major upgrade.

We are looking for someone for Bayoubuzz.

Thanks and hope all is well and that everyone is surviving BP.

Steve,

That site was created by the team in Kansas similar to the NOLA one
who are pushing for their city to get Google Fiber. They have also had
pushes on Facebook and Twitter with polls that show an unrealistic,
overabundance of support for Kansas.

I don't think there is much to worry about there. Google will pick it
back up when they need a PR boost.

I know we're all trying to keep the dream alive though.

Speaking of which, I'm presenting an extended version of my FiberFete followup from Net2NO at this weekends BarCampNOLA. I would certainly love for anyone still interested in fiber to come out. Of course BarCamp is worth it all by itself.
