[MG] Social Engineering Guest Opinion

[Scott Raney]

Just to show you how weird Boulder is, the local paper actually
published the Guest Opinion I sent them (albeit a few weeks ago):
http://www.dailycamera.com/guest-opinions/ci_31017240/scott-raney-defense-social-engineering

I don't think this is a good general-purpose PR strategy, but it does
show that there are people out there willing to consider a new way of
doing things. It's mainly a matter of figuring out how to find them.
Once we get rolling word-of-mouth should carry us the rest of the
way...
Regards,
Scott

Nice job. Did you get any new signups because of this article?

Don't know, I don't track signups, or even ask the usual "where did
you hear about X" marketing questions. I can see hits increase in real
time using AWSs monitoring features, though, when I post something on
social media about proxyfor.me. But even then I can't distinguish
signups from people just browsing (i.e., I'm not checking conversions,
which is another thing that real product marketing entails). I'm
starting to think more about this kind of stuff now that I'm shifting
attention from development more toward marketing, though.

Scott
