I found a very cool blog yesterday called The Google Geek and reading the posts I thought Ron Hall -- the Google Geek -- might be interested in Hailey Hacks, especially the coming-in-the-new-year-episode, Hailey Hacks Google Maps.
I dropped Ron an email and attached a press release. We exchanged a few emails back and forth and lookie here, not only has Ron blogged about Hailey Hacks, he's shared it. Excellent!
Got an interesting email yesterday. From a young woman named Jill Golick about a sneaky way she is using to get young girls, like my daughter, interested in web technology - Hailey Hacks. It is an area of interest of mine because I have a great Mom (dove into the computer/web at 78), I am married to a great lady (still has trouble getting her messages from a cell phone - but has a degree in educational systems), a daughter that is a budding tech wiz, and a sister that is an expert in the field of women's education.I checked out a couple of the videos and some of Jill's background bio (my daughter - who is also my I Phone mentor - loves creative writing). I sent her a link to GirlEffect.org - something my sister brought to my attention.
One of the beauties of the web environment is how generous people can be. Ron has gone well beyond what any old media journalist would ever do for me. He hasn't just mentioned the project to the readers of his blog, he's helped me distribute it.
