Impressive. A CSV download of the whole table would've been very nice.

Press on edit, which opens the google doc backing this. Then download in whatever format.

To clarify this is the doc from clicking suggest edit: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1GgGy4AdvHNwQeppRhg8i...

Then go to file > download as.

My word this is impressive. How did you find all of these outlets? I always find that in the aggregation era, it's very tricky to find everyone covering a topic, rather than just the top 2-3 people. I wish there was something similar for the film world.

Funny, I looked at this and wished there was something similar for the music world.

FYI - your domain is currently rated with Bluecoat as suspicious so will get caught on most corp proxies. http://sitereview.bluecoat.com/sitereview.jsp#/?search=submi...

Thanks for noticing! I acquired the domain name a while ago. There must have been some suspicious content on it before. I have reached out to Bluecoat to see if they can reconsider.

Don't chase coverage. Chase customers. I need to take this advice myself.

Agreed. That said, the right coverage can get you customers. You just need to be strategic about which media outlets you reach out to. I'd definitely would not recommend to reach out to all 300+ media outlets.

Next step for the site will be to allow you to filter it by type of audience, so if you're building a game for example you'd just see the gaming publications. Etc.

I've accumulated this list over time. I've also curated it with the help of virtual assistants (FancyHands.com).

Noted! Definitely worth considering branching out to other verticals.

You probably are already aware, but your twitter counts are off. TechCrunch has followers in the millions, but indicated as non-million units. You might want to check your counts. Also, allow this to be sortable in this list view (understand that there is a Google doc on the back of this).

Yeah, there seems to be something funky going on with the Twitter followers. We currently use a Google Spreadsheet Script to fetch these numbers. Will have a closer look today!

As for sorting, I think it's a limitation of embedding a Google Spreadsheet. We'll probably move away from it shortly so we have more flexibility, but for now you can visit the document directly: http://edit.submit.co/
