(Above from Steve Bridge) (Rudi Hoffman writing) Thanks to Steve Bridge for his insights re: web hits. As a point of information, my inquiries and web hits have decreased since initial TW hoopla. But the quality of the inquiries seems to be somewhat better...i.e. more serious minded and thoughtful people, ready to take action and fill out paperwork. It has been my experience that the gestation period of the cryonics meme is at least 6 months. So the results of the web hits will/may filter in gradually over time.
