At JTS, Miller was named the first recipient of the Gladstein Fellowship.[3]

Along with a monthly technology column for The Detroit Jewish News, Miller blogs about the intersection of technology and Judaism for the JewishTechs.com blog, The Huffington Post, Time.com and his own blog, which launched in March 2003.
A 2011 parody on YouTube[5] of Texas Governor Rick Perry's presidential campaign commercial which critics considered anti-gay, gave Miller international attention, with coverage in several print and online media outlets including The Washington Post, The Jewish Daily Forward,[6] CNN, Jewish Journal,[7] Der Spiegel Online,[8] Miami Herald,[9] JTA,[10] and the USA Today.[11]
Miller was listed as the ninth most influential person on "Jewish Twitter" by the Jewish Telegraphic Agency in 2016[12] and was one of ten winners of a Jewish influencer award from the National Jewish Outreach Program in January 2012.[13] He was chosen as the Community of Excellence Young Entrepreneur of the Year by the Greater West Bloomfield Chamber of Commerce in April 2012. Miller was also cited as one of the top Jewish Twitter users by The Huffington Post[14] and was referred to as "the most technologically savvy Jewish leader in Detroit" by the Detroit Free Press.[15]
