Freeway Blogger Update

February 17th, 2006

TX signA little over a month ago, I posed the opportunity to get three free submissions to the BOTW directory. Though I received accolades from some of my peers, the actual participation was a little underwhelming. In hindsight, I am not too surprised. Calling upon industry peers to get involved in a controversial, political matter may be a tall order.

Afraid of alienating customers, most of the people that contacted me graciously passed. I was disappointed, but I learned a lot from the experience. My next effort will prove much more successful.

One person actually did post a sign, at a local university. He was surprised that the sign lasted for almost 10 days. How many people do you think saw it, and took a moment to ponder it’s meaning? My guess is that for the time spent preparing and hanging the sign, the bang for his buck was pretty good. I hope that he takes something away from the experience - hanging the first sign is the biggest step.

From recent reports at Tales of the Freeway Blogger, the movement is really gaining some momentum. People from all over the country are sending in pictures of spotted signs. Moveon.org is even organizing vigils nationwide. The call for impeachment is beginning to get more mainstream.
