You write a press release, pour your heart into it, but here’s the deal: if your headline doesn’t grab people, it’s like tossing a letter into the wind. I was sprawled on my couch last night, scrolling  TechCrunch News  to avoid doing dishes, when a headline about some scrappy startup’s new gadget yanked me right in.
