To appear on Techmeme, do this:

tacanderson:

- Break a major story.

- Report/summarize/write up a big, developing story. Be early, or better: first (mindful that this doesn’t trump other considerations).

- Got a press release or non-exclusive briefing? Write the very best take. Highlight what’s important, what’s fascinating. Be lucid and critical.

- Make sure your headline is clear and contains all major details (proper names, dollar amounts, dates, etc.) If you’re posting on Google+, make sure the first line of your post functions as a headline.

- Link generously to stories on other sites to establish context and cite sources. Sometimes including a Techmeme permalink is the best way to do this. (Self-serving but true!)

- Articulate something lots of people are thinking, but not putting into words.

- Write the kind of story an Apple or Google exec would share with their fellow execs.

- Write the kind of story people will talk about at an industry cocktail party.

- Write the killer analysis piece that tech pundits can’t help but to link to. Yes, be a “thought leader”. If your post is linked enough, the automation behind Techmeme will notice and attempt to surface it.

- Tip Techmeme on Twitter. (Include “Tip @Techmeme” when you tweet your link.)

- Summarize a major story that’s behind a paywall. Techmeme rarely features paywalled stories, but may link to you. Link prominently to the source story, of course.

- Say what you’re going to say early in your post. The reader wants to know soon whether there’s a payoff to reading, not 8 paragraphs in.

- Include relevant images, videos, or figures in your post.

- Time some analytical pieces for weekends and other slow times when they’re easier for Techmeme to discover.

For decades technologists have teased us with this dream that we can talk to our technology,” said Apple’s Phil Schiller, “But it’s never come true! It’s such a let-down! What we really want to do is just talk to our device!

The margins for Kindle content are thin. Very thin. Apple runs its content business at break even though it transacts billions of items per month. The amount of content that needs to pass through the Kindle ecosystem (with lower prices than Apple charges) will need to be astronomical to make it profitable on the shortened cycle time the iPhone enjoys.
