by thewordpainter on 7/15/11, 2:26 AM with 3 comments

tentatively set to be profiled in Mashable's 'Spark of Genius' feature tomorrow for http://GoRankem.com

putting together a checklist for the team: -tweet, fb share, google +1 & stumbleupon from the article -include a mention in gmail status -mention in google+ circles -pass along to reddit

what are some other ways to keep the momentum from a writeup spreading as far as possible? thanks in advance!

    The main thing to do after this is leverage this and get written up again and again.

    You can google search for "How to contact a journalist/blogger." Basically, you want to appear everywhere within two months of the first major news story.
