#2Why do you care about TechCrunch coverage? It's a great blog, but it's just a blog. TC coverage won't make or break you. You'll probably get more traffic from this submission to HN than a TC post.

#3Two questions: Why does TechCrunch still exist, and why isn't there a good media outlet focusing on technology / startups / etc?
OK, bonus third question... why does anybody care what TechCrunch has to say anymore? Their reporting is rubbish, their attitude is crap, and their logo looks like it came out of a 4th grade fingerpainting class.

#4Great website but poor timing. I was going to forward this to some contacts at TC... except they all just left for Burning Man this morning :(.

They have tons of readership, and a lot of VCs browse the site.
PR is a just a method to drive traffic and hype for your startup.

Now they will have both, so I would say they are pretty smart.

#7First, I agree with everyone on the TechCrunch coverage and it not being what it used to be.
But just as a pitch/landing page, I don't get it. If I was I would leave the page immediately. It doesn't show off your product. It just requests them to donate more time to find out through their own research, which seems highly unlikely.
Why not use your home page? And if that doesn't cut it, maybe that should be fixed before asking others for coverage.
Best of luck!

True and totally agree with you, end of the day we just when ahead and picked a name.

#9I might be wrong, but at first glance, it looks like everyone involved needs to install Hipvite to organize and event.
If I am correct in thinking this, I would advise you to make an SMS fallback. It's difficult to organize an event with friends if they all need iPhones to install the same app.
