The press release went out
You can check out the press release by clicking here. It managed to get picked up by Google News, so that’s good. According to PRWEB, who distributed it, the stats for the press release are:
The number of times your press release was picked up by a media outlet: 82
How many times your press release was accessed from our site and other distribution points where we have the ability to measure a click through: 6,628
…which looks good to me, even though I have nothing to compare it against. 
The only reason for the press release was to get some inward links from the press release being reprinted at other sites and thereby garner some attention from the search engines… specifically Google… which is why I checked if Google News was carrying the press release.
I’ll be searching for “Neil Shearing Gatecrashes the Blogosphere” (the title of the press release) to see if it appears on any webpages.
