Idea, to MVP, to PandoDaily in 10 Days: How We Did It
- tmcneal 15y agoIt's interesting to see how startups are able to get media coverage without previous connections to tech media outlets. The OP's approach reminds me of a blog post posted on HN awhile back with some tips for getting press: http://jasonlbaptiste.com/featured-articles/how-i-pitched-techcrunch-and-13-ways-to-get-press-when-you-launch-your-startup/ http://jasonlbaptiste.com/featured-articles/how-i-pitched-te...
- philco 15y agoThanks tcmneal! It's been a wild, wild, ride.
- Hexteque 15y agoI don't like this trend of putting "wacky" pictures in an otherwise professional project. Last week there was a project where the final screen was a gif of dancing duck with clapping pigeons. Now it's a smoking monkey. Before that it was the "This is a test, bitches!" email. Then there was the time a web hosting company accidentally charged all their customers for a full year and then posted a picture of Homer in a dress saying 'Oops'. As a consumer, I would prefer to be treated in 'business casual' manner and not like a 13 year old. I hope this trend gets old.
