Candy Voting Machine Gets AJC Spread

Decatur Metro | October 24, 2008

Moey might want to think about getting a security detail to keep away the paparazzi on Halloween night.

In a story first reported on Decatur Metro, the AJC now has an indepth piece on Moey’s candy voting machine costume and his mother “altmod’s” unhealthy obsession with the election. ;-)

UPDATE: Mindy says that she mentioned both DM and her partner that created candyvote.com, but neither made it into the article.

    Great coverage Moey (and mom)! I hope to see you on Halloween so I can vote.

    Poor kid… in a place like Decatur, his costume is going to be pretty lopsided by the time all the candy is handed out! He’ll probably need a spinal adjustment the next day!

    Just kiddin! Have fun Moey – awesome idea!

    Seriously, the AJC sucks for stealing stories from community members’ blogs and not giving due credit. I am glad you are keeping count.

    Actually the AJC was alerted through another source. But the Decatur Metro blog generated 4x the hits to candyvote.com than the AJC article. And while I really liked the article in the AJC, it has been so fun reading the interactive comments of my Decatur neighbors. Decatur Metro has been super supportive as has the entire community!

    4x times? Wow…that really says a lot about the value and return of a local focus!

    I gotta keep that in mind in case I ever pitch the idea of advertising on DM to local business owners. 4x the clicks for 1/2 the price of an AJC online ad! (or something…you can see I haven’t really thought this through)
