Media sources from literally all continents promoted the iTraceYou.com service through TV news, radio interviews, and several articles published in web sites, newspapers, and magazines.
People from many countries (to name a few: United States, Brazil, Poland, Switzerland, Yugoslavia, Singapore, Japan, Germany, Norway, Estonia, Mexico, Argentina, Canada, Colombia, Italia, etc ...) came to find out about the service because of the attention we got from the media. We never spent a single dime with any type of advertisement.
Some of the venues that noticed the success of the service:
Phil Hughes, Linux Journal's publisher, reviewed my book and provided the comments for the book's back cover. He also decided to publish the results of his review in his magazine.
Linux Journal - USA - February 2001
Back in Brazil, everyone started talking about Python after the news related to my book started spreading around. Many important news sources requested to have interviews with me so they could expose the Python Language to the general public.
