News You Can Bruise for 2004 May 13

Permalink [Comments] (3) Thu May 13 2004 14:26 Shameless Word-Of-Mouth Marketing:

Wherever there are petty, disgruntled Moveable Type users there is an audience for my rabble-rousing. Check out my weblog software, NewsBruiser. It probably does what you want; it's easy to install, upgrade, and hack; and it's open source and written in Python. Also, declare yourself emperor while the real emperor is away inspecting the border with Gaul! It's easy and fun!

PS: There must be a more effective way to do this?

I get the NewsBruiser theme song in my head more often than the Transformers theme song.

I think that's a win for you.

I do too.

Leonard, you might be able to take advantage of the current criticism over MT's fees (see slashdot article) to attract some new NewsBruiser users. I myself am thinking of adopting NewsBruiser because my current software is creating psychological obstacles for me updating my site (and I'm starting to get complaints).

I wanted to post about the top hats but I haven't found the reference I was looking for.

I think it's possible to take advantage of the situation, but I'm not sure how. I don't want to go to people's houses and berate them (or, indeed, berate them over any medium). As I've mentioned before I'm very bad at self-promotion.
