[Geowanking] update - open letter to google

[Cameron Shorter]

After you have put the story on your blog, could you please tell 
http://slashdot.org .  This is just the sort of story that slashdot will 
publish and it has a huge following in the tech community.

I don't expect you will get a response from Google unless you publish 
the letter to a large public forum (like slashdot).
