BP Buys Search Engine Phrases

Posted on June 9, 2010 by Breanna Wilson

The BP oil spill fiasco is still making headlines, and BP has reported they have collected about 1.8 million gallons of oil over the past 4 days, with the total oil spill rate still not clear. When this disaster first occurred we linked on our site to the latest news on the oil spill.  Now, a month later, ABC News reports BP has bought several search phrases on sites like Google and Yahoo, so the top results direct people to the company’s website. Efforts like these are making it easier for BP to control what the public finds about the issue.

If you have been affected by the oil spill and the situation isn’t clear to you, please contact us here.

Oil Spill Hits the Louisiana Coastline

Posted on May 12, 2010 by Breanna Wilson

BP Oil Company is making national headlines with it's involvement in a major oil spill which started after an April 20th explosion aboard a drilling rig.  The spill, starting some 50 miles off the coast of Louisiana, has been creeping closer and closer to the Louisiana shoreline - an area that is all too familiar with devastating disasters.  Having still not recovered from Hurricane Katrina, residents of this coastline are fearful once again for the wellbeing of residents and wildlife. 

We want to know how you have been affected by the reckless acts of these companies.  Tell us your story.
