- jastanton 14y agobest marketing campaign? I guess I am not seeing what you're seeing. To what are you referring to?
- CaveTech 14y agoReleased -> Taken Down/Died -> Re-released.
- Torn 14y agoNot to mention a few HN posts and hacker outrage / discussion stirring things up. That said, it's probably the internet attention to the takedown that has made it come back up so quickly.
- krebby 14y agoIt's New Coke for open source projects!
- xsace 14y agoIt's like jesus resurrection, he got all the fame for that.
- ceejayoz 14y agoIt would've been just-another-chart-library without the "my company made me take it down" angle.
- atwebb 14y agoI think it was tongue-in-cheek saying that the publicity from taking it down right after release is giving it better visibility than they could've otherwise.
- webXL 14y agoOh, great! Now I'm suspicious!
- TranceMan 14y agoOk, is this the best marketing campaign for an open-source project or what? Don't think so: @_nnnick This is all just one big marketing ploy, isn’t it? ;P @DanHarper7 wouldn't that have been amazing? I'm not that smart though unfortunately. https://twitter.com/_nnnick/status/314049798502248448 https://twitter.com/_nnnick/status/314049798502248448 Edit: Apologies, I initially took your comment as cynical towards Nick :(
- biznickman 14y agoNope, was really just making a joke ;)
