I think this is a pretty straight-forward question, but in case I'm wrong: Lots of startups have ways of contacting users. And we are always looking for more. Cross-promoting seems easy, if not obvious, yet I don't see it very often. Am I wrong, and if not, why doesn't this happen?
I see it fairly often on blogs.<p>From a strictly pragmatic perspective, it is boring if you only talk about yourself all the time, while talking about the interesting things others are doing lets you promote yourself less overtly.
