what kind of product is it?
While it makes sense to get coverage on a major tech blog a la TC, what sense does it make to focus energy on getting on one tech blog if 13-year-old girls will use your product, or middle-aged women. (i.e. not typical TC readers)
Yes, the VC-advantage that PG has talked about, but as far as gaining market traction, why not focusing on a blog/ pub that focuses on your target demographic.
Let's take ingolingo that just posted on HN -- is their best audience really TC to get out news of their language/vocal-learning startup?
- jasonlbaptiste 19y agoYou could consider TC a blog in their target market/ of relevance, in this case.
- wumi 19y agoOK -- this still sounds a little too fishy for me. What you're describing is essentially paid advertising.
