Mike: Nifty site.
David: I'm making a habit of publishing pre-embargo press releases to fight just that. (And because it's fun.)

...or perhaps she knew exactly what she was doing and was hoping for all this extra, free publicity. Like you said... who needs another photo-sharing site, right? Well... news like this might just get buried... unless, of course, it was attached to a "scandal"... right?
Food for thought. :-)

This is actually somewhat on point and is good advice. As the sheepish CEO behind Tabblo, my response may be interesting to you. One thing though: I am not sure what Kerry "bigger problem" is. We're all rowing in the same boat here, and learning from posts like yours is one of the things we'll do.

Well, part of the bigger problem is the pitch itself is bad. It says nothing much, but takes a long time saying nothing.
Plus, customers are customers. Users are users. Consumers - her bad word choice - are people we just take money from and don't listen to. One thing I can say about blogging and reaching out to bloggers is that it has changed my pitch letter - which tend to be bullet points and short. I save the long stuff for my blog.
As for the cluetrain reference in his post, nice to talk the talk (which in a 30-second bit on the book means just use common sense), but you can't claim you're a small outfit that's just seven people (very Web 2.0 to be small, natch) when you go out and hire a PR firm that is more than just one consultant.
Oh, and there are no major funding announcements in Web 2.0 - that's a relic of the dotcom era.
