"As any startup will tell you, most publications will only feature a startup if given some sort of exclusive. In their eyes, the only reason to cover a startup is if it provides readers with something they can’t get anywhere else."
How do you start this conversation with a publication? How hard is it to simply cold email Mashable and attempt to get an article?
I'm assuming once the relationship is built it's easy to get follow up posts but do you have advice for making that initial connection?

Good point, we'll switch this soon. The current code base is more for proof of concept purposes. We were also concerned with having easy ids to send others. We'll get on this!

Thanks for the feedback!
We've seen a few competitors out there that are really big. Glympse (http://glympse.com/) I think is the biggest one and we tested out their app and weren't impressed with their mobile to mobile experience. If one person is on a computer the other on their phone their app is amazing but if you don't have flash all they do is show a picture of a blurry map to show the other person's location.
Do you know of other competitors out there?
