Word of mouth is ultimately very important, but Slashdot really is quite huge for spreading the word about something quickly. In one day, the video was viewed twice as many times as it had been the previous 3 weeks.

I know I’ve sent a lot of people onto the pages, and asked
them to watch the tutorial. Sad to say it didn’t work, as most of them
don’t know python and really just say:

‘Seems like something else to learn and get used to’

So maybe for every 10 that tries to advocate another 3 will like it
and advocate another 5 at least.

Or maybe slashdot is that big to pull in that many new non-advocated users.
