In continuance of yesterday’s posting<\/a>, recently Congress changed their rules<\/a> to allow Senators and Representatives to utilize YouTube<\/a> to share information with their constituents. Today I noticed a secondary tragic flaw in their layout. Since the residents of Washington, DC are denied representation in the Senate, the coders at YouTube are using the state<\/b><\/i> of the District of Columbia to show videos from different congressional committees. Instead of incorrectly listing DC as a state, they should include a link to “Committees.” Moreover, as you can see above & below, Google maps remove the words District of Columbia at different scales. This further shows how little YouTube\/Google cares about the half a million disenfranchised residents of the District of Columbia. <\/p>\n

Notice that the District of Columbia is listed in the map above, but the box is in the wrong place…<\/i><\/p>\n
