Hey HN, I built JournalistDB (journalistdb.com) to solve a problem I kept running into: finding the right journalist to pitch a story to is surprisingly hard.

PR folks, founders doing their own outreach, and researchers all need to find journalists by beat, publication, or location.

Existing tools are either expensive, outdated, or built for enterprise teams with bloated feature sets.

JournalistDB is a searchable database that lets you:

Find journalists by topic, outlet, or geography See what they've been covering recently Get contact info so you can actually reach them

It's free to get started. I'd love feedback on the search quality, data freshness, and anything that feels broken or missing.

They'll still pick up the keywords since it's in .doc format. One trick for the scanning software is to hide keywords your resume in size 1 white font. :)

If anyone is looking for accommodations in San Francisco, we have a startup live+work mansion and would love to host a few of you :)

Beyond the obvious rationale behind acquihires... they're good for the startup ecosystem because the reality is that not everyone can be an Instagram.

They're usually a great deal for the founders and the company so it's win-win situation unless of course your definition of success is a billion dollar exit. Not to mention the learning curve and challenges that entrepreneur experience and overcome which in my opinion is priceless.

Since when did TV commercials dictate a company's success? While I agree, the ad is pretty crumby, at the end of the day the most important thing is that Apple keeps the same level of quality in it's product pipeline.

Besides, last time I checked, Apple sources out their ads through an agency, specifically - TBWA Media Arts Labs http://www.mediaartslab.com. If anything, someone in marketing screwed up and approved a lame ad. Not a determining factor in their continued innovation or actual products.

Isn't this what the new TLD domains rollout addressing?

Rapleaf is hiring interns for the summer. To apply, see if you can solve the coding challenge here: http://www.codeeval.com/public_sc/41/

At CodeEval, we're hosting a bunch of coding challenges for companies that are hiring.

Warner Bros, Milo, DeviantArt, Shopply, Factual, Modcloth, Verical Brands, Rapleaf, Thumbtack, lolapps, Ampush Social, and Ravn

Why is it that there are no web based platforms with good design sense? Existing products seem a bit pre-2.0... We're still stuck sending .ppt/.pdf presentations.

This is something we're trying to address at CodeEval.com. We're trying to make it easy for start-ups to hire without needing a recruiting team or contracting a clueless recruiter.

We've created a community of pre-screened developers who are actively or passively looking for jobs at startups. They have proved their programming chomps by solving dozens of programming challenges on our site.

If you're a start-up looking to hire without dealing with recruiters get in touch with us - william@codeeval.com

Try CodeEval.com. It's free to use and we've helped dozens of awesome companies hire awesome talent through out platform. We run the only free technical screening tool out there.

And with out sourcing product, unlike annoying recruiters - we send very little but high quality candidates that are pre-screened.

Does anyone else smell talent acquisition? I've been following them for a while and they seem to never have over 400 cards at any given time. Didn't seem to be too active after all the hype.

Regardless congrats on the acquisition!

At CodeEval.com you only solve challenges for the companies you're actually interested in. :)
