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.
