24 hours into publication, my article has achieved a phenomenal 10K views, 4K reads, and 11 recommendations, making it one of the most popular articles of its kind at Medium (geek-oriented, programming-oriented).
We must use the momentum we've built up to our advantage. Over the next little while, I expect a lot of visitors to our nexus of social media sites (WordPress, Twitter, Facebook, Google+, LinkedIn). *We only get one chance to show our stuff, to explain why they should give Smalltalk a try.* Moreover, if we can keep up this new level of awareness, I guarantee you that /eventually/ the IT press will notice Smalltalk (and Smalltalk Renaissance) and write us up. *This is exactly what we want!!!* Let's harness the power of our passion and conviction to raise public consciousness and make 2015 the Year of Smalltalk! horrido wrote > WHOA!
