Yet another good Top 10 list
Techcrunch lists the Top 10 things you can do to get blogged. It's a list to guide companies on how to get bloggers to write about their products. The list applies equally well to companies who want to get their message out in newspapers.
7. Be descriptive. Tell me what your product does immediately in crisp and interesting prose that is FOA (Free Of Acronyms). FaceBook is a social networking site for college students. Pandora is a music recommendation engine. See? I need more details down the road, but give me something to hold on to before you jump into the cool way you've implemented ajax into the FAQs, or whatever.
10. Don't be a Jerk. If someone just won't write about you, move on to another blogger. Don't heckle them. If someone does write about you and you don't like what they say, deal with it by sending an email or leaving a clarifying comment. Don't attack. Other bloggers will see it and avoid you like the plague.
