Okay, I’m just reposting here what I wrote to the Google group… because why the hell not?

Holy crap y’all… the PodCamp Atlanta AP story was picked up by freakin’ USA Today, Fox News, Newsday, Forbes, the Washington Post… the list goes on and on! Somehow*, it’s everywhere! See for yourselves!
WTF?? I am blown away!!
This is awesome but on the other hand I’m like… wow… someone at a news desk at the Washington Post FFS thought this was newsworthy… but not our Atlanta paper? Weird!!! I mean, I think it’s newsworthy, but WP newsworthy? Forbes newsworthy? But, hey, I’ll take it - oh hell yes I’ll take it! Excuse me - WE’LL take it!! :D
Please pardon all my exclamation points. I know they’re excessive.
Feel free to post this info far and wide.

And, a big “thank you” to AP reporter Daniel Yee. Want a beer, dude?
*This is what happens when the AP’s national desk picks up a story in their “TechBits” section, apparently.

I think that I shall never see, anything as lovely as an AP FREAKING PICK-UP!! There is something occassionaly nice about the MSM — said the PR guy.
Wow, that’s awesome. Congrats!
“someone at a news desk at the Washington Post FFS thought this was newsworthy… but not our Atlanta paper?”
Well. It’s AJC. Maybe if Cynthia McKinney had shown up…
Congrats on the publicity! I think that’s AWESOME! You’re Famousish now!
I’ve been meaning to post a comment about how super-terrific podcamp was. You (and your helpers/co-organizers) did a great job. The rave reviews you’ve gotten a truly deserved. I am proud to have helped in a small way and am looking forward to future endeavors/projects you pursue - they are sure to be super-terrific, as well.
Job well done!
Kick ass!
