I actually find it be laziness. There different calibers of PR firms that I spoke with that say they ignore TC altogether because of the horrible type of traffic they have -- as in, mostly international, mostly incompatible with their client's need, mostly RSS readers, and mostly non-convertible. They rather go on the hunt of finding the right writers in the right fields/markets to get them to prep for a story.

If your PR firm's first, second, or even third, suggestion for you is to pitch to the biggest tech blog: fire them.

Oops sorry, I think alaskamiller's comment was in response to mine, which I deleted because it was a duplicate of ph0rque's, then re-added because ph0rque edited his to reference mine.

What a mess. My bad.

We still love you.
