Smalltalk Publicity

Alan L. Lovejoy
As of this moment, my primer/tutorial on Smalltalk ("Smalltalk: Getting
the Message") is on del.icio.us' Hotlist--which means its on the front
page of http://del.icio.us/ (5th article from the top.)  [ref:
http://www.chronos-st.org/Smalltalk-Getting-the-Message.html].  That
means it's getting substantial exposure.

This may be a sign that interest in Smalltalk is rising. If so, we need
to do whatever we can to nurture it.  Such chances don't come often, and
seldom more than once.

"Squeak by Example" is yet another opportunity to get significant
attention focused on Smalltalk.  I hope "Squeak by Example" gets
Slashdotted.

Adding both "Squeak by Example"  and "Smalltalk: Getting the Message" to
your del.icio.us bookmarks, and voting for them on dzone.com, reddit.com
and digg.com would help increase the "buzz" for Smalltalk.  And that
would be a good thing.

Hi,

I'm willing as the editor of Smalltalk.org to post ANY positive articles
regarding Smalltalk. Please submit what you want published. Please
submit what you want Smalltalk.org to become. I will listen intently and
consider all ideas that promote Smalltalk and inventing the future,
including inventing the future of information technology.

If we don't speak out the typeless-luddites will generate their future
unhindered. ;--)

What future do you see for Smalltalk and Smalltalk-like dynamic systems?

All the best,

Peter William Lount

For the record, GNU Smalltalk's new site at http://smalltalk.gnu.org/ 
also hit reddit.com's first place for a few hours last week (thanks to
Janko for signaling it).  That's good.

Thanks for the heads-up Alan.

All,
Ron's link to his news item at news.squeak.org is still in the 'new'
page at programming.reddit.com. A few more votes will help keep it on
that page for a while longer, and that generally gets us lots of new
readers.

Vote at http://programming.reddit.com/info/2uxjt/comments

Cheers,
Michael
