I can't believe I forgot to follow up with this one: Remember WeblogWire, the experiment by entrepreneurs Jason Baptiste and Brian Breslin to get a profitable startup running from scratch
in one week and on $500? Well, they didn't
quite make their deadline, but they did do it for under half a grand. Yesterday WeblogWire made a "soft launch," with its official launch today, about a week behind schedule. Even at two weeks, it's an impressive feat, but what exactly is WeblogWire? Well, it's a gateway between bloggers and PM firms, allowing press releases to much more quickly make their way onto blogs, a steadily more influential corner of the media. The service is free for bloggers to join, and PR folks can submit press releases for an introductory $49 fee ($99 after this week). Right now there's already quite a few press releases on the service, which currenly only has a Technology category (which suits me just fine).
