On the flip side, TC gets syndicated widely, and is very helpful for technical hiring.
It's kinda offputting if I just want to reach UK media.
By the way what is your startup about? :)
My startup is a place where freelancers and small business owners can anonymously exchange data about when their business customers pay them vs agreed terms. I'm in closed beta and I haven't tried the whole "Show HN" thing yet. ;)
You can take a look here: https://www.satago.co.uk
I would be wanting to reach lots of UK business press as the whole late-payment problem is something that affects companies all over the country and is often in the press.
Anyway, I'll sign up and take a look. Thanks!
I think that satago would fit nicely into a few media themes like what people can do to beat the recession, the empowerment of small businesses, and crowdsourcing data.
How is Publiseek different from HARO?
That includes that instagram photo of a great day at the beach, that blog post you wrote about reaching your 50th paid user, or a retweet of a hacker news article about lisp.
In each case you're saying look, that's me, that's what I do, and that's what I stand for.
It's called content marketing. And everyone is doing it if they're aware of it or not.
First, it's global from day one. So we have a much lower volume of overall queries to start with. However we've already made connections in the UK, India, US, & Dubai (where we're based).
Second, opportunities are public and shared. This is a huge no no with HARO look at this link for example: http://www.publiseek.com/opportunity/seeking-new-stories-for...
Third: any content creator (not just reporters) can use it. That includes movie producers (product placements), event organizers (speaking opportunities), etc.
Also we're putting a bit more focus on design/branding. Hope this answers your question. Do you use HARO?
