I like the idea of having such an Essay which encourages alternative elevator conversations/tweets.
My desire has been to get more folks into the elevator or "following" tweets via screen casts. I have noticed that relatively few folks view my screen casts which are titled with some variation of ,"J Programming Language - xxx, " where xxx is like "Installing", or "Introduction", or "browsing locales". But when xxx is, "a simple openGL screen robot," there are almost 1500 views (still not many, but by comparison, magnitudes more. I infer from this that YouTube.com videos are much more sought after if they appeal to a specific interest of a user than to a specific programming language. So I believe potential J users could be found with videos or communications which describe a specific application like something neat done in J by an astronomer, a stock market investor, a mathematician, a professor, etc. Again, this is not to negate the purpose of this thread, but another perspective on what is important.
