Thanks folks! Just happened to hear this tweet read out aloud about
half an hour ago on a local Bay Area morning radio show: "Wikipedia
didn't respond directly, but they retweeted ..."
("Sarah and Vinnie", a gossip/comedy format on Alice 97.3 - don't
judge me, it's on the dial of my radio alarm clock as something that
makes you get up quickly and turn the radio off ;)
A nice reminder that even if a tweet doesn't get a lot of engagement
on Twitter (this one is at 2 RTs and 2 faves currently), it can still
serve to get the message out to tens of thousands of people.
