I love this. It shows how important it is to keep your ear to the ground to look for opportunities like this.
More importantly, it shows what happens when you have the confidence to go out and ask someone to do something. I argue that most would not have the confidence to go up to President Obama and ask him to try out their app. It is essential to be willing to get out there and hustle.

"I enjoy democracy immensely. It is incomparably idiotic, and hence incomparably amusing. Does it exalt dunderheads, cowards, trimmers, frauds, cads? Then the pain of seeing them go up is balanced and obliterated by the joy of seeing them come down. Is it inordinately wasteful, extravagant, dishonest? Then so is every other form of government: all alike are enemies to laborious and virtuous men."
H.L. Mencken
