Its really kind of simple to be on this list. You just need to apply. Every year they ask for submissions to be included on the list. PR companies will send in their clients names or people will send in their own names. You really want press? First - and this is obviously simplified a little - live in NYC, SF, LA or some major city. Way easier if you live in NYC or SF because that is where all the reporters for big publications in the tech space are based. Then hit up some networking events, have a little personality, and try to sell a story. A story is something as simple as I have been working on this for three years, and it will change the world to my mom is dying and I am doing this for her. Then hustle, hustle, hustle. Present at everything you can. Meet everyone. Tell everyone what your doing. Find reporters, meet reporters friends, if that is really your goal you can make it happen. Cold call reporters. Send in your article. Get on HARO and respond to requests. The Press needs you bad, they need you more than you need them. They HAVE to tell fun and interesting stories. Make your story awesome.

Niche social networks are dead. People are fatigued by the idea of a social network. The word itself makes me pretty much want to puke. Social is the web now; its a fluid idea. What do you want your product to do? to achieve? How is this going to make my life easier, better, more fun? Even if it is all about my profile and moments - how is it better?
