When I started using NuSphere MySQL on our two Linux servers, I liked it so much that I flashed the company an email telling them thanks for making such a good product (their installer takes 98% of the trouble out of getting MySQL, PHP, and Apache to play nicely together). A few days later, I got an email back asking if their PR people could call me and get a more detailed account of my opinion of their product. So we did a phone interview and they quoted me in a press release. That was fun, actually. Pontificating is always fun.
A week ago, I got an email from a writer doing a news piece on MySQL and other opensource database systems (like Postgres) as an alternative to the big guys (Oracle and Microsoft SQL Server). I answered his questions and he quoted me in a piece he wrote for a networking news site called NetworkFusion. You can read the article here. It’s a short quotation in a short article, but I’m happy with it. I’m pretty far from a database guru. But it’s fun to play on one the web. :)
