After reading this post, I chuckled, and thought about how ‘genius’ this guy is. Sean of GetClicky is using a different way to gain attention from somebody. Instead of ‘bodek‘@praise@compliment him, he  is criticizing Michael Arrington, accusing him of favoritism, so that in order to ‘defend’ himself of not being in favor, he’ll write about a new services offered by his company. Sean’s intention is ‘quite’ clear and yet he is successful. And he must be delighted now, hehe

Ooh Techcrunch…, what is the meaning of appearing there? It got hundreds of thousands of RSS subscribers, plus millions of visitors.. indirectly he simply got a free advertising, which if it is in a form of text link ad or banner ad, will probably cost hundreds if not thousands of dollars. And it sticks there permanently even though not a single  link to GetClicky appears there (curios person like me will google it of course). Not sure if techcruch has impact like Digg effect though.

On the bottom of the post, the commentators were not too ‘generous’ in leaving their opinions know. I don’t read all the comments, but you can smell jealousy over there, right? Who wouldn’t want to appear on Techcrunch??

Personally I love the idea as well. But apart from the idea solely, Sean has a good product/service to show off too. And he does not unaffectedly criticizes Arrington, if you read the post carefully, he knows what he is doing (he put links to support his thought, and it seems like that he is indirectly challenging Arrington to be opposite from what he stands (i hope I got it right here)

So next time when you have a great product/service to offer, why not try this out, and wish your email would not be flagged as spams by the blog owner, or threw to the ‘trash’ right away.
