Gang, congratulations to you all. We have officially made the main page of Yahoo Buzz and our positions are as follows:

#1 in Business Category with 118 votes (#2 = 60 votes)

#9 in All Category with 118 votes (Only 164 needed to get to pass Obama/McCain story in spot #6)

[I've provided direct links to the lists that go by "vote count". If you go to Yahoo Buzz directly, make sure to filter the results by "vote count" as the default is "last 12 hours".]

This is a great accomplishment .. but we can do even better by getting all of our evening Aurelian crew to vote for the story. As such, I've reposted instructions as follows and hoping we can break 200 by the end of the night:

====================================...

Good evening to you all. Yahoo Buzz! is a brand new feature released by Yahoo (just last night) in which users are able to submit stories.

The power behind the system is that the most popular stories are promoted to the FRONT PAGE of Yahoo, bringing millions of eyeballs to the story. If everyone votes up the story, it could provide greater attention than anything we've done to date.

I submitted the Aurelian story this morning and it is now the #1 "Business" story on Yahoo Buzz with more than 120 votes. It has graduated to the actual "Top Buzz" page as of this evening as editors at Yahoo authenticated the story.

As such, I ask that each and every one of you (that have not yet already done so) to vote for the story. If you already have a Yahoo ID, it is as simple as the green thumb votes here on AGORACOM. If you don't have a Yahoo ID, please take 2-3 minutes to create one and vote on the story.

Look for this button when viewing the Aurelian story and click on it to register your vote.

Spread the word!

Regards,
George
