Sometimes it’s an opportunity to break news on a new product, or to be first to “press” – I INVITE contact from PR firms on any blogs I work on that are appropriate.

I suppose I am like many bloggers. If it weren’t for my blog, 99% of those contacting me, wouldn’t bother.

Someone believes you have an audience that is worth reaching.

As a blogger I don’t mind being pitched at all, as long as I’m not expected to reply to every pitch.

I am tired of all the whining too. Being pitched comes with the territory. And, hey, it’s fun ridiculing the bad ones. :>)
