You can do that without doing "teasers" like this. Just publish it when it comes. It's the Guardian, people will see it if it's posted. No need to publicize it

It's the Guardian, people will see it if it's posted. No need to publicize it beforehand.
- kintamanimatt 13y agoNo need to publicize it before hand? Why do movie studios run trailers and promote the hell out of what's coming? Teasers tease and get people interested. It keeps people talking and when people are talking, there is a greater reach. This is really basic marketing at work here and it's a very wise move.
- rtpg 13y agobecause this isn't a movie. This is about news. The facts will speak for themselves, and people are looking. I'm not saying it's not good marketing, I'm saying it's a bit tasteless. I'd rather he spent more time looking over his articles so that there don't have to be 100 corrections after the fact.
- kintamanimatt 13y agoIt's naive to think that just because something has been published, people will beat a path to it. It doesn't matter whether it's a movie, news, or programming language; things have to be promoted if they're going to be widely noticed. I'm not sure what 100 after-the-fact corrections you're talking about though.
- eightyone 13y agoIt's not a teaser. It's a refutation to someone else's comment which said, "Sorry, a year from now we'll be snoozing about this. Not against you, just tired of your self-promotion."
