Hi Jolie,

Thanks for your reply. Yep, I totally understand (in hindsight) that my service may not be the best fit for your audience. All I was complaining about was a lack of response :)

Actually, I had pitched Mashable only after doing a fair amount of research which concluded that you do write about web analytics, optimization and marketing sort of stuff. Here a few recent stories which nicely fit your description of "man behind the curtain"

http://mashable.com/2007/06/25/analytics-toolbox/

Of course, now I am going ahead with niche blogs in web analytics and online marketing domain (and finding success too) but when I was preparing to pitch you (and other major bloggers) I had made sure that they covered similar stories in the past (except that I am bootstrapped and they got funding!)

EDIT: fixed typos
