I can't think of a reason why it wouldn't be completely legal? Unless there's some sort of ToS violation, however it'd be interesting to see how that would stand up to legal scrutiny. There are however clear ethical considerations surrounding disclosure which is really interesting in this case.

Nobody is going to simply stumble across your application, so it's your job to start promoting it! That doesn't mean paying for advertising, but marketing doesn't always cost money.

If you're keen to have more people use it, you need to be able to clearly answer:

What is the benefit of using your application? What does your tool do to make people's lives easier/better? How can people access your application?

Then you start with your own social networks. Explicitly ask people to use your tool as testers, find people who you think would benefit and approach them directly. Tell people why it's cool and ask them to share it - then go from there.

I'm curious to know what the attack vector was to hijack Craigslist; and of course if the affiliate link will credit the attackers with funding if they discover their visitors were fraudulent.

I guess you could call it dual-primary - I'm quite evenly split between Fedora and Windows.

I like Fedora because my work runs RHEL on its VMs and it is easy to have the two set up similarly. I like the package manager and the overall configuration of packages. The workflow is good and I love the power of a proper CLI.

Windows: For games (there's just not enough for Linux yet despite Valve's push), Visual Studio, Office (Libre/OpenOffice just doesn't quite work as well IMHO) and the Adobe suite.
