Link: Nick Denton’s killer idea
Meanwhile, I am getting overwhelmed with reader mail. Don’t get me wrong, I love hearing from you, but many of these are just link/PR pitches. I am going to try this approach. I ask from here on in that you please post me only via del.icio.us unless I already correspond regularly with you. I am doing this not only to cut down my mail but to make the PR pitching process transparent so that everyone can see what I blog/don’t blog. This will hopefully make those who pitch me better at what they do.
