Love love love. I appreciate that in a world of competition people don't want to lay their cards out but this was so refreshing and super useful. I'm bemused by how big tech blogs will only take notice not on your innovations and contributions but on how popular you are within the tech community.

Also, I wouldn't say that's begging at all. I never normally comment as people seem to enjoy flaming each other and it's not really something I'm big on but I liked the blog post figured I'd share my opinion because I liked it and I think people will gain a lot from it.

What would be nice to see is people praising one and other and helping each other along the way instead of pi*sing on the their metaphorical parade.

Thanks for the post Liam. I learnt a lot from it. The main thing, don't discount the little people as they're on the same journey as you and you'll be good for each other going up!

This reads like "How To Get Press For Your Startup. Additionally, TechCrunch Sucks."

You shouldn't be taking the lack of coverage from TC personally.

Also, don't beg for upvotes: http://i.imgur.com/ambemzZ.png

That doesn't work and it just gets the article vote banned.

"I Didn’t Build Relationships With Enough Tech Journalists Before Our Launch"

So true. It's also the reason why it's easier for startups based in San Francisco to get covered.
