15 minutes
Well, it's been a roller-coaster ride at the Minkery the last two days. My comments on Looking Glass got reported in the Seattle PI Microsoft page on Monday and the hit rate on webmink went up to 2 per second - 8650 visitors yielding 13,453 hits. Then on Tuesday the link hit Slashdot, GMSV, Scoble (who didn't think I'd link back), JavaLobby, Dave Winer, Barrapunto (in Spanish) and several others - 14,361 visitors yielding 15,688 hits. It's all subsiding now so I guess that's my 15 minutes of fame over and done with and I can get back to normal life :-) And for those who are curious, advertising on that lot earned less than a meal in the Sun canteen.
Meanwhile, I agree with Scoble and Winer - if you can't point to stuff your competitors do when you think it's cool your 'authentic voice' is either muffled or mistaken.
