I feel your pain. The truth about getting publicity for apps on major blogs is: you wont get publicity for your app, unless...
- it is visually novel or has some cute gimmick
- there is some story about the people behind the app (already have an audience)
- there is some story/narrative that is only tangentially related to the actual quality of the app
- a massive game changer (incremental improvements aren't going to cut it). Massive game changers dont happen often, and your app most likely isnt one even if it has features that other apps dont.
I've decided to forgo spending much time trying to get major blog/tech site coverage for my apps. It's a wash now - better to build your own audience and market in other ways.

- monkey_slap 13y agoI've come to the conclusion, after my latest release, to just make apps that I will use everyday (aka quit dogfooding), not spend a dime on marketing, and release them for $3-5. I just want to make things that people will actually get some benefit from.
