Hi Diego and Sergio,
thanks a lot for publishing this great tool!
I think having this validator is really a big step forward for the Web
of Data, as we now have a central place where we can point data
publishers to check their sites and don't have to go through all the
issues on a one-to-one basis as it commonly happend in the past.
I have put a news about Vapour onto the LOD wikipage
http://esw.w3.org/topic/SweoIG/TaskForces/CommunityProjects/LinkingOpenData
and have also added the service to the "Testing and Debugging" section
of the "How to Publish Linked Data" tutorial.

Subject: ANN: Vapour 2.0, a Linked Data and RDF vocabularies validator
We're glad to announce Vapour 2.0, a validator for Linked Data and
RDF vocabularies. An effort has been made to widen the scope of the
validation to cover any kind of Linked Data (Vapour 1.0 was
specifically targeted to RDF vocabularies). This new release
contains a number of new exciting features, such as checking for
meaningful triples in the response documents, links to popular
semantic web browsers, and conclusions on the type of the resources
per httpRange-14. Moreover, the input form is now simpler, and the
reports are even more eye-catching than before.
Validate your linked data! Use our online service
http://validator.linkeddata.org/
Source code and further details are available from:
http://vapour.sourceforge.net/
Many thanks to Tom Heath for allocating a linkeddata.org subdomain
for Vapour.
Best,
