James Loving - National Radio Text Service - Monday May 26 , 2008

This month we varied our focus on the stories that were published from January 2007 till the beginning of May 2008 - International football/soccer and Cambodian sports continued to hold down the 1st and 2nd positions. The shocker of the month was our Phnom Penh column jumping on the list and ranks third - SEARCH ENGINES GUILTY OF INTERNET THEFT?

NR TOP 10 MAY We Changed The Pace

This month we varied our focus on the stories that were published from January 2007 till the beginning of May 2008. In part the reason being that the NR Top 10 columns of July and May 2007 continued to top the charts. That was again followed by are 2007 year in review. Since they are composite columns we decided to focus on dedicated columns this month. As a result Sports Notes December 2007 took the top spot.

The column features the new England manager Fabio Capello receiving the post over Jose Mourinho and the fate of David Beckham. KaKa and Pele features are also included. There also is a steroid report in the MLB and our picks for an all International NBA All-star team.

Ronan's concert in Phnom Penh last May continues to maintain interest and has been in the top 10 for several months. Video Beat and American Idol gained attention and took the third position as well as the fourth spots with the examination of The Business of American Idol involving David Beckham as well as a contestant challenges Simon Cowell - Amazing Race All-Stars Get It On - Philippine Variety show ASAP has talent busting out all over with Sarah Geronimo, Pops Fernandez, ZaZa Padilla, Kim Chu, Gary V, Lani Misalucha and many more - Temptations, Yanks are ON MGM

CNN talk show host Larry King rocketed to the number five position in our Biz Who Is column of June 2007. King has reached the Top 10 in the past but this is his highest ranking to date. A new entry was Jol, Beckham and Mourinho Take Center Stage jumped into the fray and took the number six spot.

Overall out Video Beat columns continue to gain popularity as they took six of the 10 positions making it a radical change as sports had been the strongest category in the listings but took only two spots this month. Our fastest mover was out Video Beat column of March, 2008. It features the final 16 cut on American Idol when host Ryan Seacrest uttered these resounding words, "No matter how good you are someone has to go home every week," Seacrest said to a shocked and distressed Alaina Whitaker who broke out in tears when he gave her the news that she was one of the four contestants eliminated that night from American Idol's top 20. The column revealed the Cambodian Freshie contest elimination's and as well as a review on the HUMAN TRAFFICKING film staring Mira Sorvino and Donald Sutherland that was televised on the Hollywood network.

Our August 2007 Video Beat MAX column became a new entry on the NR Top 10 list. It covers Donald Trump choosing his Apprentice, the film production reality show On The Lot winner, the suicide of a contestant from the reality show Pirate Master as well as the Philippine star and former Big Brother reality show contestant Wendy Valdez staring in her own show Margarita that was based in part on her life.

Rounding off the list and taking the tenth spot was our second fastest riser Video Beat MAX for February 2008. That features American idol host Simon Cowell and his rude behavior that ironically earns him millions of dollars. In the past we have criticized irresponsible television programming particularly in Cambodia where they display negative images and are a bad influence on youth. This column points out Tyra Banks America's Next Top Model program which took a stand on the dangers of smoking cigarettes by having the models made up to show the negative aftereffects. It was a classy position for Tyra and the show to take.

Michael Jordan Rules from 2001 was our oldest story to receive repeated interest. It deals with his return to the NBA after he retired from the league and during the interim took three years off.

TOP SECTIONS VISITED

International football/soccer and Cambodian sports continued to hold down the 1st and 2nd positions. The shocker of the month was our Phnom Penh column jumping on the list and ranks third.

The Cambodian Freshie contest page dropped from fourth to sixth. In part that is due to our cutting the link to the page by deleting the listing on our front page. We have our concerns about the show which caused the deletion.

The Los Angeles Lakers are a new entry taking the fifth spot from boxing which dropped to eighth. Features slipped a spot to seventh and Entertainment 2006 dropped to eighth. Dennis Rodman fell from eighth to 10th.

NATIONAL RADIO PUBLISHED IN 5 LANGUAGES

National Radio is published in five languages, English, Thai, French, Russian and Khmer (Cambodian language). Any of our foreign language material and our Roman Wanderaugh columns are legally available ONLY on our National Radio site.

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:

MSN also listed the headline TRAVELING AROUND on the Cambodia Land & Sea story. It raises the question why was it necessary to make two listings on the same story to link to the Thai Visa site?

Roman Wanderaugh 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.
