I don't agree with this because our goal is not publish at unknown web sites but to focus on the well known sites even if we have to do it manually. This has may more impact than automating the publication on web sites that nobody uses ;) Of course if they are both well known and automatable it's a big win :) but I don't think we should rule out some known web sites because we can't automate them. Maybe we should start by brainstorming about web sites where we could announce on here. I'll start a thread for that.
