That was my point. Anyone who bothers to use Google's news alerts to keep up to date with what's happening in the REBOL (language) world, would assume nothing's happening. Of course, you may say they would already know about REBOL if they were doing that, so they would know a better place to look. Which is true, but if instead they were just interested in monitoring computer languages in general and so were getting alerts for "computer language" or similar, REBOL would never be mentioned. There was a REBOL developers' conference a month or two back? They wouldn't have heard about it because Google News didn't know about it. Google News has not mentioned the REBOL programming language since that baby monitoring device made some headlines. Now compare with... http://news.google.com/news?hl=en&ned=us&ie=UTF-8&q=ruby+language&btnG=Search+News http://news.google.com/news?hl=en&ned=us&ie=UTF-8&q=python+language&btnG=Search+News Note that Google News results are never more than a month old. How further under the radar do you want REBOL to be? And why? -- Carl Read. -- To unsubscribe from the list, just send an email to lists at rebol.com with unsubscribe as the subject.
