I liked Bryce's excellent idea to comment on a news story by linking to a OSM "node". Following the link gave a reader not only the location but all of the detail of his changeset.
I tried this today by linking a news article to a "way" encompassing a controversial housing development in my town. My link added context to the news article that only included the lot numbers. Next I'll contact our local editor and see if I can link to articles before they are published, maybe I can teach her how to make the links. I'd like to hear more ways to promote OSM. What's yours?
