we could set up a newsletter or something like this.
The thing about reddit from my limited understanding is it is very time critical. The idea is for people to be notified in real time so that they could upvote things soon after the post was created. Ideally I'd write up a list of email -> txt gateways and people would give me that email address. Then when we have a quality reddit post, we send the mailing list a short message which would fit in a txt/sms message on a phone. Person taps link in txt message, goes to reddit post, reads it and upvotes !
There are 3 concerns.
1) Phone numbers give out identities basically, so it is questionable that people would wish to participate via phone txt (but they can use regular email)
2) Low participation regardless of #1.
3) Reddit does some sort of testing to see if the person isn't a "bot" or some such. So it is possible that if we all go directly to the link the reddit server code would detect something wonky and our tactic ends up not being effective.
I'll probably end up doing this, but there is a ton of stuff going on right now. I think waiting for btsx gui/market pegging to solidify and then we can start trying this stuff.
