Just wanted to share... I tried to get attention of some technology and business editors with no luck. Then called a mate who is an editor himself and asked for a 15 minute crash course on getting media attention. It all boils down to 1 of 3 things, you choose yours: - mates club - money - coming up with a good story worth telling Dan, don't wait! Come up with something exciting and you'll make it through :-) Sorry for hijacking the conversation. Just wanted to share…

There are a number of reasons why one might not get coverage. The idea/site might be utterly terrible (I get a lot of those). On any one day there is plenty of things to write about, so sometimes a less interesting company will get pushed to the bottom of the 'to do' list. However, I hope to increase coverage, even if it is a relatively small post on a disappointing startup (and saying so), so have hope my child... That’s a fair question.
