Interesting the last 2 phone calls I had both said something along the lines that a well known West Coast blog and a few more doesn't cover tech / startups on the East Coast! I agree and getting tired of this echo chamber controlling the "tech news" bubble world! Time do something about it . . Do you know which site they're talking about?

I had the same conversation while in NY with a few individuals. Startups and companies need to stop treating certain "blogs" like the end all press and just market your product/company to your target customers. Getting posted about on certain blogs is almost like the "digg" affect.

Dave: TechCrunch has employees all over the world, so no.
- Robert Scoble
Wayne: name names!
- Robert Scoble
Scoble you know, and just because acertain blogs have employees all over the world doesn't mean they provide a "fair" coverage to the tech space

I do think it's a dual problem though, startups and tech companies want exposure and tech blogs want traffic. I think it's a marketing and perception problem. Also a "social media" problem.

I am writing a whitepaper "what startups can learn from the music industry". Seems like you guys are reinitiating the east coast/ west coast beef? ha!

Wayne: maybe not, but I've seen tons of east coast companies in techCrunch. Nine companies from Israel were picked for TC50 last year. It's hardly Silicon Valley centric.

Wayne, don't waste your time raging at the machine. Instead BE THE MACHINE YOU WANT TO SEE! to paraphrase and mangle the quote.

Thanks, I'm going to become a CyBorg!

Fred Wilson just blogged about the NYC startup scene heating up and deserving some press. Let's pile on by talking up our own local space.
