I'd love more coverage of my startup, Improvely, but I don't think I'm going to be throwing any parties on the other side of the country to attract the tech press. Personal e-mails to bloggers that covered similar companies didn't go anywhere either, so my 'launch' consisted of posting to my personal networks on FB/LinkedIn/Twitter/Yammer.
I would think snooping around their profiles for phone numbers and cold calling would be seen as creepy. Is that really something people do to bloggers/journalists they don't already know?
