TechCrunch – Sorry for the Spam / The Adventures of Dan Schultz Mon, 12 Dec 2011 03:37:54 +0000 en-US hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=5.7.2 Look Ma, NPR! /2011/12/look-ma-npr/ /2011/12/look-ma-npr/#comments Mon, 12 Dec 2011 03:37:54 +0000 /?p=695 Three weeks ago I went to a happy hour organized by the Neiman Lab, I mentioned my thesis project, Andrew Phelps said “that sounds cool, can I write about it?” and I said “sure why not!” I assumed that the post would get about as much traction as professional blog posts usually get: a few hundred eyeballs and some useful feedback.

After the article was pushed it started getting twitter attention. Soon afterwards NPR, CBC, and The Register contacted me. I ended up with a two-minute piece on Weekend Edition, a longer interview on Day 6, a surprisingly balanced and long piece on TechCrunch, and the official title of Boffin by the crazy Brits. This was unexpected.
