    Don’t get it … is it “As seen on xxx” that’s bad, or the TechCrunch part? You seem to give them enough credibility to judge the event …

    We’ve been told time and again to never mention other places where our clients received coverage. It would be prefacing a request for a date with “I shagged George Clooney.”

    Well, maybe not THAT extreme…
