i'm part of writewith, a yc startup, and i have a side gig writing for venturebeat. the readership skews towards investors and established entrepreneurs. so although it has a smaller readership than TC and some of the others, there's a lot of value in getting covered by it.<p>email me at eric at writewith dot com if you have a good story idea.
Why are people so concerned about buzz?<p>Buzz is for people who cannot build a useful product.<p>Once you have a useful product, it's not 'buzz', it's marketing. Hire a suit for that.
