This two headed marketing approach is ALL that is required to make REBOL a commonly known technology.
#1 Pound the blogosphere! Bombard bloggers with press releases, comment on articles, and tell all about rebol. Ok, we have been doing the latter, but its the first two that do the magic. Give those bloggers good controversial story ideas with an up-and-coming lean. This is a highly effective and proven strategy, and I have seen it work nicely even for some stupid ideas. It takes a surprisingly minimal effort too. The concept you want to push is important too, and that is that rebol opens up a new dimension for programmers, ways of programming not before practical. A few amazing testimonials might help. You might add the fact that once you do REBOL, you never want to go back to the old ways! #2 Forefront. If I dont want to program my Gphone in Java, what about rebol? Maybe not the Gphone, but these type of up-and-comers. Being involved in these latest greatest techs is very critical! It puts rebol in with the movers and shakers of the programming world, people looking to learn new things, and highly valued exposure. Costly it is, so choose very wisely. Other strategies are nice, but this is practical, doable, and will FOR SURELY WORK.
