When Wikimedia started accepting Bitcoin, I was utterly unsurprised that the very first reaction from Bitcoiners was to complain about how WMF was doing it. You'd almost think their interest was in promoting Bitcoin rather than in donating to the charity in question.
Bitcoin users donate more to causes. Why would they require a separate Google search just to donate in a widely used currency? What's the point of creating a separate page? It's simply bad practice.
It seems to me you just want to jump on a soap box. Go blog about it. But when I want to donate to something I go to the website and click 'Donate' and I USE THE OPTIONS THERE...

It's not "widely used" for any fair definition of the term, it's an upcoming niche at best.

Fair enough. It's really up to you to decide what's more important, donating to the cause or bitcoin evangelism; if you're more concerned with the former rather than the latter, it shouldn't matter where the bitcoin option is located so long as you can use it to make your contribution.
This is what I mean. This isn't a debate and I've no interest in your lack of research and bad arguments.
Mozilla says they accept Bitcoin and has A page for it. But beyond this single story, people are never going to see it. If they started accepting feces and didn't put it on the donation page I'd still say it doesn't count.
If you want to rant about Bitcoin and act like you're on some sort of higher ground because you don't care about what currencies are accepted, blog about it. I don't care. It has nothing to do with my point.

This is a common tactic used by individuals with no evidence to support their claim. Rather than substantiate your claim that "bitcoin users donate more to causes" or provide numbers to explain your subjective assertion that bitcoin is a "widely used currency", you shift the onus on me to provide evidence for statements made by yourself. Its your responsibility to support your own claims, not mine.

Don't you understand that nobody cares about that except bitcoin evangelists. The bitcoin donation page is functioning as intended, anybody who cares about supporting the Mozilla foundation has the option to donate funds using fiat or bitcoin. If your only complaint is related to the visibility of the bitcoin donation option, then it's pretty obvious to everyone that all you're really after is publicity for bitcoin.

What's with the persecution complex? "Not caring which currencies are accepted" doesn't mean I feel like I'm on "higher ground", it literally means what the sentence says: I don't care, and nobody else does except people who have a bitcoin promotion agenda.
I love the idea. Better than Google Alerts for sure. Searching for likes is sort of a given, I'm surprised that's not already implemented. (Aside from the list of 'Likables'.)
Neat. For the 25%-35% of the time that it's wrong, how much of that is due to the occasional crazy spikes? That is, what happens when you remove the outliers?
This would be perfect as I have an algorithms test covering BFS, DFS, and a few other things soon. But, no download links, I have satellite internet and can't stream video. XD
EDIT: Mobile app allows downloads, thanks for this, I'll check it out. :)
Or if you're going to be creating two pieces of contents, do a subdomain (m.personalhomepage.xyz) and place a canonical tag.
There are many options, this isn't good standard.
