1 - Write blog post

2 - Go viral

3 - ???

4 - Profit

Jokes apart, this seems to be the only to get attention from a company. I wonder if there is a startup opportunity here.



There is, called a PR firm, if you don't want to write up your own blog post and submit it everywhere.

Perhaps a consumerized PR firm that takes contract copy editors, submission bots, and some sentiment analysis to gauge the response of a NYT writer to a potential story (two lawyers suing each other far less emotional appeal than kids' xmas gifts getting shut down), and voila. Insta-noise-machine.


This is sorta consumerist.com's model.
