I've distributed it via PRWeb, but to be honest I am not exactly sanguine as to their effectiveness. I've also posted the release to IndyMedia, Alternet and Mother Jones, publications that tend to emphasize "fair trade" coffees, indigenous preservation efforts, etc. I have George Matyjewicz's Automated Press Release service on my radar screen (and did before I got your message, George!), but, while the prices are eminently reasonable, I can't very well write a press release and distribute it for $25 if I have to pay a minimum $50 for distribution ... which means that I will probably be re- examining my own rate structure for industry and extra-regional business releases. My service is geared toward local and state libertarian political organizations, and I am building my own personal mailing databases by region, as I go. Business releases will definitely be a secondary possibility, but probably on a smaller scale. Those higher prices that you find on the professional submission sites aren't just arbitrary; it _costs_ to develop a good database of press contacts. I will be working to develop a good database of media that cover alternative currencies and e-currencies (but, to any of the monitoring spammers, I'm not interested in x-thousand addresses -- I will be targeting actual content to actual purveyors who might be interested, not filling individuals' mailboxes with stuff).
