I was really excited to launch SodaRatings.com. I really like the site, really dig the idea and I wanted to try to get it in front of some people. Because of this, I e-mailed 4 or 5 blogs/bloggers to just kindly introduce the site and ask them to take a peak. One of the sites that I contacted was Download Squad.

I’m a subscribed reader of Download Squad and have been since it launched, if I recall correctly. I have also been reading Ryan Carter’s writing both there and, before that, at The Unofficial Microsoft Weblog. I regularly find neat stuff linked there (this golf game is neat!) and, well… I considered SR to be neat, so I was encouraged by their tips page to take a shot in the dark.

A few minutes ago, I finished my dinner and came back to my PC, looking at the stats for the site and I noticed a jump. This is because the afforementioned Ryan Carter wrote an entry about it at Download Squad! I’m really grateful for the coverage and the kind words. As I said, I’m excited about the site… and, in turn, I hope that others like it as well.

Coincidentally, the story at Download Squad was submitted to Netscape by Netscape user okitech. So, a big thanks to okitech, as well. The story only has 2 votes (one of which is me!), but I just love that someone thought the story/site interesting enough to submit it at all. So, if you have an account and the story interests you, please vote for it.

Edit: It has also been submitted to Digg! Thanks PHovey!

Thank you for reading.
