Wow I did not expect to hear from the Editor-At-Large at Mashable. Thanks so much for the comment - really valuable to stuff :) Interesting point about not pitching via Facebook. Maybe I should remove that. Do you think that it goes over the line, or is it just annoying?
- Mystalic 15y agoUse Facebook to figure out who our mutual connections are, but don't send the pitch in a Facebook Message. Facebook is my personal space and I like managing my pitches in one central location. Other journalists may have different feelings, but I think most of us prefer email.
- dshipper 15y agoNow that I think about it I wonder if there's an opening for an app that helps journalists manage and keep track of pitches. Does something like that exist? I feel like email isn't necessarily the most efficient system for it.
- cubes 15y agoIt's a potentially neat idea, but keep in mind that many people already use their email for such a purpose. Rather than a specialized app for managing and tracking pitches, consider building something that integrates into mail clients ala Rapportive?
- Mystalic 15y agoI've thought about it -- I know one or two make Google Docs for pitches. Problem is getting the people who email me to change their behavior.
- dshipper 15y agoWhat about being able to copy paste code that would hook the submit a story form on your site into the CRM?
- churp 15y agoI've been trying this form to try to avoid email chains. It doesn't always work but at least gets some basic information. http://tomio.wufoo.com/forms/pitch-a-story-to-tomio/ http://tomio.wufoo.com/forms/pitch-a-story-to-tomio/
