As a regular of Slashdot.org, I've been tempted to submit a story about Squeak 
and how wonderful it is...looks like someone beat me to it!

Still...Slashdot will likely generate a lot of attention to the Squeak 
cause...heck, it'll probably overload the Swikis (the so-called Slashdot 
effect).  Judging by the responses to the story, it looks like there are a lot 
of people who are very well informed about Squeak as it is (as well as the 
usual clueless trollers, but that's the internet for you :).

Anyway, if the Swiki's seem overloaded....well, you've just experience the 
Slashdot effect.

(For those who don't know:  see http://slashdot.org)

Another suggestion:  Slashdot has a 'sister' web page called Freshmeat, which 
has more-or-less become 'the' place to announce new software for the 
UNIX/Linux community (see http://freshmeat.net).  Is it in the interest of 
Squeak to have new releases submitted there?  Again it would probably generate 
a lot of interest in Squeak...  just a thought, anyway.
