Don’t take stock tips from poor people. Don’t take diet tips from fat people.

… and most importantly, don’t take entrepreneurship/business tips from idiots who never started a business. I’m talking about this bay area culture of following fucking journalists.

Sure, I understand. We’re all entrepreneurs here, and we can use as much PR as we can get. I’m a PR whore myself, but that doesn’t mean I’m gonna go around brown nose-ing every god damn PR event. And I’m not starting a business to get a pat on the head from that asshole Arrington or that idiot with a camera Scooby-doo or whatever his name is. If your website sucks, no amount of ass-kissing-a-fucking-journalist-to-get-some-backlink is gonna do you a damn good. If your product sucks, it sucks. What can I say?

Instead of spending all that time trying to get “dugg” up, why not spend the time learning + applying SEO, or god forbid, spend some money on PPC? Yes, Google makes Satan look like a little pussy (and all the dumb ass developers that kiss their ass are actually taking up the ass without them knowing it). But at least they can get you the initial traffic to see if you even have a damn market for your cool twitter-facebook-status-update-realtime-social-network-user-generated-content-social-media-vc-backed-web2.0-blah-blah-blah-we-don’t-make-a-dime-in-revenue-so-we-have-to-eat-ramen-everyday-and-now-our-developers-have-man-titties website.

Instead of looking for praises, go for REAL customer feedback. Get advices from REAL entrepreneurs who have done it. Ask for help from people who knows, not people who pretend to know.

Stop stroking these idiot journalists’ balls ego and go talk to real people who know some real shit.
