Just an update to this topic:

Since starting this thread, a number of media outlets have contacted various Ecomodder members to do interviews:
  • A BBC radio reporter contacted basjoos about his Aerocivic
  • AndrewJ gave a phone interview to an Edmunds.com writer (story has yet to appear)
  • both Ben (SVOboy) and I have spoken with a CNET news.com writer about a piece that will probably appear this week
I'm still seeing the occasional new user registration using e-mail addresses that are obviously from media outlets.

So again, I'll put it out there that if anyone who hasn't yet offered would be interested in speaking to the media in your area, should they come asking, send me a PM with your full name, address & phone no. & I'll add you to the EM rolodex.

To the half dozen who have already done so, thanks!

Darin
