It's interesting to see how startups are able to get media coverage without previous connections to tech media outlets.

The OP's approach reminds me of a blog post posted on HN awhile back with some tips for getting press: http://jasonlbaptiste.com/featured-articles/how-i-pitched-te...

Thanks tcmneal! It's been a wild, wild, ride.

So why is important to get on some blog as opposed to, say, start to get users?

Easy - it's the cheapest channel that gets you in front of the right demographic. How would else you get in front of thousands of SXSW attendees for free? Press is an awesome way to kick off the viral loop.

If SXSW attendees are the target demographic, then yeah.
