It is interesting how contextual the response to your question is. Regulars seem to get more latitude, through a combination of them having a better idea of what is acceptable, and the other denizens knowing them and working under the presumption they aren't going to flood he lounge with effective up-vote requests for articles for the OP or OP's mates. Not only that, the content of the article has a big bearing on how it will be received. That said, it is an interesting article, your post is more of a "have you seen this cool thing" rather than an advert so I've no problem with it.
