Hey, even the biggest Finnish tech newssite/magazine wrote about it: http://www.tietokone.fi/uutiset/yacy_jokamiehen_hakukone_haastaa_googlen
We didn't translate the PR, so I guess your current international distribution network works quite well and the topic is interesting :)

Hi,
it's been an exciting couple of days.
Monday's YaCy PR went off like a rocket. We got lots of coverage, Alessandro has a collection of links over here:
http://blogs.fsfe.org/alessandro.polvani/
The high-water mark in terms of coverage so far is probably the Wall Street Journal's tech blog:
http://blogs.wsj.com/tech-europe/2011/11/30/new-open-source-search-not-a-goo...
Which is actually a rather good article, as it dampens some of the excitement over YaCy as a "Google killer".
The WSJ article is based on an article by Web Pro News
http://www.webpronews.com/follow-up-gerloff-chimes-in-on-yacy-2011-11
which mainly consists of a mail I sent to one of their writers yesterday evening.
Best regards, Karsten
