We need to get on the good side of some pretty influential people, including the likes of Walter Mossberg, to get Suite101 to where we want it to be. He's a columnist for the Wall Street Journal and is very much at the forefront of the tech world. His articles carry a lot of weight, not just among the casual reader of the WSJ, but among the power players. If we can get him to look at our site and recognize it in an article, we could go a long way in attracting attention for membership and in attracting future investors. Just something to keep in mind.
Exposure is a two edged sword.
Exposure is a two edged sword. I see your point, but practically every site is under construction and constant refinement. If we wait too long to get this kind of exposure, our market will be defined for us instead of our defining the market and setting the trends. We are giving Internet users something they want and we should be telling everyone that fact. It would appear that we are the middle ground between the pull technologies and push technologies by giving users the information they want while allowing them the freedom to browse the sites they want to look at.
