[OpenSpending] Launching Spending Stories site: Help us spread the word!

[Anders Pedersen]

Hi all,

Today we are thrilled to officially launch Spending Stories [1] with the
data journalists at J++. We are grateful for the comments and suggestions
we have received from some of you along the way since the first prototype
was developed in the summer.

We are now asking for your help to get out the word out about the site!

##What can you do?

###Tweet it!
[suggested tweets below]
Announcing #SpendingStories, our new site with @jplusplus_ which puts
spending into perspective http://ow.ly/r2AbQ

Does the govt spend more on school meals than the royal family? Compare
with new site from @OpenSpending http://ow.ly/r2AbQ

###Blog about it!
Are you interested in cross-posting the blog post announcing the site or
translating it into your own language? We have compiled the release
material including a draft blog post in markdown [2].

If you have questions, please get in touch and I will be glad to help!

Best,
Anders
