Re: [OVC-demo-team] VoteHere has released their source - sort of

Something Fred forgot to mention is that /. also included a small reference
*back to us* (as in, VoteHere's move was good, but OVC over here is doing it
right) in the article summary. Take a look:
http://slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=04/04/07/1453224&mode=thread&tid=103&tid=99

I suspect they did this in response to our recent activity. Would it be a good
idea to put out a press release re-iterating our approach and how it differs?
VoteHere seems to be only pulling a PR stunt. A comment on /. sums it up
well:

Keep the media exposure coming!
