Have a story worth writing about (that you would read yourself, if it wasn't about your startup). Watch the video. He really does describe ways to get TechCrunched. My startup was profiled earlier this year (and it was a great generator of

What YC is doing now seems to be working and highly differentiated in the market. Doesn't seem like there's much reason to change it.

The groups functionality on LinkedIn sucks. It's also unclear what is "acceptable" practice in terms of communicating with members of the group. The OnStartups.com group for startup fanatics ( http://www.linkedin.com/e/gis/2877/30950504D0B
