I think its important that you help make things go viral

Especially you tube videos. Be sure you not only view the video on DU but go to the youtube link itself and view it and then vote on it.

A vote for a video no DU does almost squat unless you go to youtube and vote it up or down. Many may know that but some may not.

Hillary Clinton Has No Idea What ‘Going Viral’ Means

Poor Hillary Clinton; first she didn’t know how to work a fax machine, then she didn’t know how to email from a computer, and now on Tuesday she seemed to admit she doesn’t know what “going viral” means.

The anecdote comes to us courtesy of The New York Times.

When a voter approached her at a polling station at Parker Varney School in Manchester, N.H., on Tuesday to ask for a picture, he explained that his friend had taken a selfie with the former first lady on Monday and he was jealous because the shot “went viral.”

“You went viral?” Mrs. Clinton said to the man’s friend. “That sounds like some kind of disease.”

The use of the word “viral” to describe fast-spreading content dates back to the dawn of the Internet Age. The idiom “gone viral” was used by Newsweek in a 1999 article, for example.

Also news stories that you think might help the campaign its important to click the link because that adds to the data on the story count for google on searches.

The Clinton campaign has great weakness in this area so do it.

the more times a story or video is linked to, the higher it gets ranked in google's indexes

then again ,maybe that's why some people push back
