How I hacked my social data to get press coverage and $750K in funding

  Spamming people to cover your startup isn't "hacking." That's just traditional marketing.

    I believe the point is that he didn't spam people. He asked a friend to introduce him to one of their friends. I think that's called networking. Your terms are confused.

      Yeah. It's all about getting a trusted introduction. No direct messaging.

  Since OP is the founder and is probably reading the comments, I would recommend taking care of that responsive design. When you adjust your screen everything gets messed up and completely overlaps on the Discoverly homepage.

    Thanks, Jonathan. As the chrome plugin is only for desktop chrome, responsive has been a lower priority for us, but a non-usable HP for mobile is not good. Have you checked out the tool?

      That's a fair point, but I was looking on my big desktop at the office but I don't always have full-screen. Didn't get a chance to use the tool yet, but I'll give it another look.
