People forget that communication is a circle - if we don't hear back from someone, we assume that we got lost in their inbox so we contact them again. If we hear back from them, even if it's a simple "Not interested because..." then we can refine our message, talk to our client, and improve... and stop re-sending emails because we think you've not seen them yet. This would be in an ideal world - bloggers, realistic?

If you've got something awesome and we see it in tips, we're going to write about it. It certainly helps to communicate about things in other ways too but the #1 way to pitch us effectively is to make sure your clients kick ass. Thanks, btw, for sending the feeds to us that you have.
