J.TV & YC's PR skills are awesome. pg, who does PR for YC companies these days? How do you guys manage to get into these amazing publications?

Perhaps it is just because what Justin.tv is doing is innovative? They were featured on the Today Show early on as well.
We don't have a PR firm and I don't think J.TV does either. They're just doing something colorful.

Or not,
but because the medium is perfectly suited to Mr. Warhol's taste..."I like boring things," he once wrote
I guess the site might make its millions by stroking people's vanity (which is why I suggested a while back to rename it to something that doesn't so obviously stroke someone else's vanity, viz, Justin Kan), but it's so wrist-cuttingly dull I don't even want to think about it. I really hope it was more than high costs that marginalized Cinema verite so many years ago--perhaps that viewers want something more than voyeurism.
The idea of letting everyone broadcast is colorful, even if the median broadcast is not.
I thought it was also a clever play on "just in" as in "this just in".
