Why isn't Rev more popular?

[xavier.bury at clearstream.com]

warning, this email contains a big sig

Actually, the bck door would have been Slashdot. Im just so curious Rev 
hasn't done anything
to get their logo up in their top banner... In the least Rev is Slashdot 
hot, im surprised none one
tried a little PR to get an article in there... Then again, rev's support 
and PR are not my best
friends ;)... 

I know marketing is usually considered a waste of money (depends how you 
use it and how
much money you are ready to "waste" on it... 

But with 200000 visits per day on Slashdot (more or less), that's not a 
negligible back door
to a LOT of nerds like or unlike us... Ruby on Rails sure took a big 
number of hits thanks to
Slashdot... Why can't a superior product like rev?

food for thought best served with a good glass of bourgogne...
