yehh i did - it's one where there's quite a lot of mistakes, so i'm leaving it off the crowd-funding campaign front page but it will be going on the list.
ZDnet is a high-profile site. Probably more people looking at that than at all the other sites added together.
surprisingly, it's had very little effect - i've been keeping an eye on things. slashdot was very effective, so was boingboing. reddit's been fun. ycombinator - hardly a peep. heise.de - *really* effective.
