I feel that whoever is going to present this list of companies coming out against SOPA, should also talk a little about what each of them represents. Just saying something like "Wordpress" or "Reddit" at the Congressional hearing, probably means nothing to most politicians there.

That's very true. It makes you wonder what internet entity (other than designated supervillain/punching bag Google) these politicians are aware of?

"It says here that Wordpress hosts 70 million blogs worldwide, which I find hard to believe. If Wordpress is this big, I'd have heard of it. And this Reddit? It's what... some sort of alien game thing?"

So quick to legislate something they profoundly (and proudly) misunderstand.
