D.I.Y. Startup news is an experiment in user generated news. We wanted to create a site where people could go and post startup related stories without having to have a blog or get more coverage for their up and coming blog or startup.

Instruction for posting to the site can be found @ http://diystartupnews.com/instructions/

So….

if you are a Startup looking for some coverage feel free to post it here.

or

if you are a blogger looking to showcase your writing feel free to post it here.

or

You have a breaking story and can beat the tech blogs to the punch then throw it up here.

Thats it.

Well there is a catch and the catch is it must be done with a maximum amount of 240 characters. The reason behind this is I want this site to be used on mobiles with out many problems and also to force posters to get to the point . The comments are not however limited in the same way.

How are you going to deal with spam I hear you say? Well every story is checked by a human before it is allowed to be displayed. There will be no editorial on any post. If its not deemed as spam, rude, racist etc then it goes.
