TechCrunch, a very popular blog that tracks Web start-ups, has added a web form that PR pros and start-up companies seeking coverage can use to request a product review. The form even supports embargoes. This is a neat idea. Now I wish that someone would create some code that any blogger can customize to add such a form into their template.
For now I am sticking with my preferred method of getting pitched via del.icio.us. Since I wrote about this method back in March, del.icio.us has added a special “for” feature that keeps your pitches to me private. Just post anything you think I would be interested in linking to under the “for:steverubel” tag. I check this feed more often than I read email pitches. The reason is that when I am emailing I am all about communicating. When I am feed reading, I am in blogging mode.
