Onno, Looks good! As far as in-house submissions go, I think you have it pretty well covered. I was wondering if sending it to sme outside sites might not be useful, like a web hosting trade association, so I did a little Google searching and found this:
EDITORIAL INFORMATION The Web Host Industry Review has been an essential element of the Web hosting industry since early 2000. We publish daily Web host news, long format features, Web hosting consumer guides, Web host reseller information and a print magazine about the Web Hosting Industry. Our comprehensive and in-depth analysis has established us as the industry's most respected online publication of record for both Web hosting service providers and Web host consumers. To submit story ideas, press releases, contact [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.thewhir.com/about/ed.cfm The link below is to a web hosting blog. what caught my attention was who the interview - the latest post on the blog - is with. A possible submission for the release? http://www.webhostingfinds.com/blog/ "To inform, empower, and entertain - Lockergnome is here as a resource for people who are curious about the world of technology around them. Novices and experts are welcome to explore our ever-growing list of resources. Our contributors are full of passion. We will do our best to keep you informed on a daily basis. We will share your feedback, suggestions, and stories with the rest of our community whenever and wherever possible. If you seek knowledge, if you seek professional growth, if you seek information that's presented in a personal voice... you're home with Lockergnome." Chris Pirillo, the founder, was, and may still be [I really have not paid much attention the last couple of years] a very popular and well-respected online IT "guru" and his newsletters had HUGE readership. He's changed his format some since the last time I was Lockergnome, but this may be someone we need to add to our "marketing loop." Theu still do a lot of IT news - see the sidebar on the link below. You have to scroll down some for the IT section. http://www.lockergnome.com/ Is the Ubuntu server set up to do RSS feeds? Putting Ubuntu News on an RSS feed would be a good marketing strategy. Good RSS feeds generate a lot of traffic and a lot of online buzz. Anyway, that's what I've got so far. I'll keep the wheels in my head turning and if I think of anything else, I'll drop you a note.
