<br>> That leaves the question of how we are going to find these new<br>> members. It's always seemed to me that HCoop is something that huge<br>> numbers of geeks would find very attractive, and it's just a matter of
<br>> tipping them off to its existence. Does anyone have suggestions for<br>> lucrative ways to spread the word?<br><br>Google text-ads? But I'm not sure if that's going to attract the type<br>of geek we want.<br>
<br>Posting ads on kuro5hin isn't necessarily a bad idea, but I've fallen<br>out of that community for at least a year. Does it still have "geek<br>cred?" Or have the trolls taken it over...<br><br>I'm inclined to say that it's best to let Hcoop grow organically, as
<br>opposed to any sort of anonymous recruitment effort. Encourage current<br>members to "tell their friends."<br></blockquote></div>Post
an ask slashdot question about geek friendly hosting. Then if it makes
it to slashdot, post reply telling about hcoop. It will be moderated
informative and we will have lots of geeks applying. Simple<br>
