		<description>I think it really depends on the type of startup. There are so many keen bloggers spreading the word, a startup with a good product may sneak by without a PR agency. maybe... =P&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;PS nice site</description>

		<description>philos&gt; :-)

Christian&gt; There&#039;s nothing stopping you from pitching to people like Scoble and Calacanis. I know what you mean - you&#039;d like the creme de la creme to pay attention. Since these people know about startups and social media it would be easier for you to do it.
However when you move beyond early adopters and tech savvy people then wouldn&#039;t you need a more general (and less &#039;techy&#039;) comms strategy for your product? For example: How about parents wanting to know where their kids are (not that I approve of the practice) - they are not extremely likely in their majority to read Scoble and Calacanis (sorry boys). When you get to that point I think you&#039;ll need something more.</description>

		<description>I would love to have some PR (Mobnotes.com is a real startup), but I mean someone who has proselitysm and charisma, like Robert Scoble or Jason Calacanis. The real meaning to us to have a PR is to have someone who acts as &quot;trend setter&quot; who enjoys your product, that&#039;s  top of the heap !
My 2 cents, Christian Grassi</description>
