Submit your unfiltered news on SiliconBeat

We are experimenting at SiliconBeat. If you look to the right-hand column of our home page, you will see a new feature. It is a way for companies and other people to submit press releases directly to our site (here’s how), so they can be posted almost automatically without us having to comb through it. We will start sometime tomorrow. Headlines will be posted on the right with links to the full releases.
The reason is because it’s getting harder and harder to keep up with the flood of news. We’ve been inundated with requests for reviews and write-ups, and feel like we’re letting too many people down. Over the next few days and weeks, we’ll review whether this is useful or not.
In the interests of our readership, however, we reserve the right to reject certain posts, if they are too far off the mark. By now, you know our focus is money and innovation in Silicon Valley. We’ll certainly let in news about other U.S and foreign start-ups if we think it is relevant. Indeed, this could complement our main offerings about Silicon Valley. Biotech and other areas we don’t cover are also encouraged.
Finally, we realize that many of you subscribe via RSS, which means you don’t visit the homepage. We’ll tinkering with this and other features, and try to create separate RSS feeds if we think there is demand.
Let us know your thoughts. Thanks for reading!
