Will TechCrunch write about a site that already has users? I thought they just wanted exclusive scoops on brand new stuff.

Will TechCrunch write about a site that already has users? I thought they just wanted exclusive scoops on brand new stuff.
- vacanti 16y agoThey care more whether the site has been covered by someone.
- asanwal 16y agoTC is great but is waiting for TC coverage worth waiting on getting users? Esp since there is no guarantee you'll get TC coverage. I don't think so. TC Coverage < Real Users
- brlewis 16y agoI'm not waiting; I have users. But I don't have 1000 users and would like to. The only suggestions in the list I haven't implemented yet are TechCrunch coverage and a (good) demo video.
- mattmillr 16y agoIt's also important to consider if TC readers are your target audience. I've seen big pageview spikes from TC and other widely- (or poorly-) targeted press coverage that didn't convert very well, whereas coverage in much smaller but better focused publications resulted in more overall conversions.
- johnrob 16y agoThere's always some exclusive story that can be spun, at any stage of a company's life. It just takes creativity.
- user24 16y agothey used to be like that, but these days they seem to be morphing more into tech business news. Topics are generally acquisitions, funding, the occasional plucky newcomer and long-time sweethearts like twitter.
