I'll be happy to tell the back story on this, if anyone is interested:

It's a great example of creative marketing, returning phone calls, establishing rapport w/media contacts, and SEIZING THE DAY.

Woo hoo!

That's true, however Europeans tend to have better public transportation than America does. Our country is very big and spread out so you need a car in most cities to get around.

A few cities like New York, have a good subway system so that it's actually quicker to take the subway than to go by car. But, in a city like San Diego for instance, which is where I live, there's no subway system and it would take forever to get to most places by bus.

Russ,
I would love to hear the back story.

I am working on a new startup right now and need to learn to leverage media like this. I would like to hear how you get media connections like this.

**Knowledge Kick** · May 28th, 2011, 04:55 PM

Wow Russ! This is awesome, congrats.

**Ratman71** · May 29th, 2011, 12:30 PM

Congrats! I too would love to hear the back story- I am launching a project in a few weeks that would greatly benefit from this type of coverage.

Thanks for anything you could provide!

Congrats again!
