What am I doing wrong here? (PR/Marketing an app)
_pius: First off, congrats on building a site that a lot of people use and respect.  I've definitely heard of it and I'm not from Chicago, so it must have gotten coverage somewhere.The first question is probably a dumb one: Have you actually asked any of the journalists you work with to get you some coverage?Also, you may have some success following up with the many reporters and bloggers who are covering the whole "new journalism" and "death of newspapers" beat.  Talk to Dave Winer (http://www.scripting.com).You're in Chicago.  Do you have any contacts at Medill?  Reach out to them and do a partnership ... you should definitely get some coverage that way.
