No, I won’t upload your demo to my blog
Did anyone else get asked ‘as a member of the blogging community’ to write about a certain social aggregator (and post their demo) by some PR company. All in return for ‘a link to your site’?
I guess today it’s my time to say I’m not yer hoor.
I’m in no way influential here – and I’m never quite as ticked off as Tom can get – but our Whedonesque.com gets quite a bit of traffic and press. That’s why and where I received the e-mail. I guess our address got on to some kind of list.
We’ve done sweepstakes and contests in collaboration with various companies relevant to our niche audience, but our community blog’s subject matter is has to pertain to Joss Whedon. We wouldn’t even allow a post about some random application unless it was somehow relevant to our subject.
So not only do they ask people to shill for them, they ask the wrong people. Fabulous.
