Someone mentioned that we need to get onto forums. I agree. That is where the community can be helpful. Please email just two people about this effort, and please post a notice on just one forum. So far, here is just a few of the publicity links that we have achieved:

The story was also on the front page of the Digital Tipping Point website, but has since rolled off to page 2:
