One of our startup strategies involved that we target Chinese, Spanish and French startup bloggers before reaching out to Americans. Most western startups overlook the significance of this huge market, and leave the door open for another company to take the spoils.

Far less companies submit review requests to foreign bloggers than they do to Americans. Consequently, our own experience turned out to be great; almost all the foreign blogs we contacted were more than happy to review us. This strategy works great for early stage startups that need that additional media coverage. So if you haven't yet tried this, I suggest you do :) Take care, - Jawad Shuaib


I live on Maui and even though the Maui High Performance Computing Center is here plus the Haleakala Observatory- I've met only 3 or 4 geeks my whole time here, and no tech entrepreneurs. Of course, I can't complain. I mean, I live on Maui.

I'm a programmer, so it's pretty rare for me to disdain someone for being a nerd, but, geez-o-man, there's nothing like Larry Page in action.

Oh, have you seen his girlfriend:
