Re: Use cases wanted for media coverage

A few more pointers:

1. Deutschlandfunk (German public radio) featured GoodRelations in

	• MP3: http://ondemand-mp3.dradio.de/file/dradio/2010/08/28/dlf_20100828_1646_93131074.mp3

2. Paul Miller talked with Jamie Taylor (Metaweb/Freebase) and me on  
the impact and usage of GoodRelations in his podcast series:
