Hello Villponen, while I agree with you about the post and condemn this practice from TechCrunch, I'm wondering about your own practices of covering "ONLY" Nordic and Baltic countries Startups!? or am I missing something? Fact is, TechCrunch is one of the biggest player and Entrepreneurs don't really have that many choices while trying to get coverage from big tech blogs, and probably when they are not from the Nordic region or very big, they can't expect coverage from your own blog. Again, I condemn this practice, I'm just surprise to not read it from a RWW, TheNextWeb...or other "world Techblog" blogger but from you, while you already set your own Embargo from the start: "Don't talk to us or don't expect coverage from us if you are not a Nordic or Baltic Startup" . But of course, I could be missing something here!
- giddas 15y agoI would think he doesn't have the resources of a techcrunch for one and the focus that local news can give is valuable.
- nknight 15y agoAre you going to ask why ESPN confines its coverage to sports? Confining your coverage to a geographical region or industry or both is not the same as confining your coverage to companies who are willing to effectively bribe you, which is an ethical breach of the highest order. Edit: Forgot to mention, you're completely misusing the word "embargo" here. It's a term of art in journalism. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/News_embargo http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/News_embargo
