Petitions Page Redesigned

We’re excited to announce the new design of the highly-popular petitions pages:

The new design has the same basic look and feel, but features a new loud-and-clear “Sign The Petition” form. The form will follow visitors when they’re scrolling the page, so they always know where to sign and join the petition.

Also, the comments section now has more focus and the signatures are loading on-demand.

As always, we would love to hear your feedback.

Google +1 Button is now available on all petitions

We’re happy to partner today with Google by adding the new +1 (“Plus One”) button to all petitions.

“+1 is as simple on the rest of the web as it is on Google search. With a single click you can recommend that raincoat, news article or favorite sci-fi movie to friends, contacts and the rest of the world. The next time your connections search, they could see your +1’s directly in their search results, helping them find your recommendations when they’re most useful.”

Add YouTube video to your petition

A small but important update to our interface: Many of you requested the ability to embed a YouTube video directly on the petition, and now it’s possible!

You will see the feature when adding or editing a petition.

See a demo of how it looks here.

Signers, Your Privacy Matters

Here at PetitionBuzz we always try to think about our users’ privacy (both registered and signers).

Starting today, we’re not allowing Search Engines (i.e. Google, Bing, Yahoo!, etc.) to index the signers’ names on their search results.
This makes PetitionBuzz the only online petitions website that protects its signers’ names.

It should be noted that you may still see your name on the search results over the next couple of weeks because the search engines are keeping a local temporary cache of the result.

As always, we remind you that you can ask for your signature to be deleted using this form. Requests will be processed within 1-7 business days.
