Struggling to get your clients noticed by TechCrunch? Maybe it's because you're not one of the unnamed public relations BFFs Michael Arrington seems to be referencing in this Twitter update.

if you're a young startup looking for PR help, ping me. I have someone you'll want to meet.

For someone so sensitive to the conflicts of interests that arise through friendships (though not necessarily financial relationships), I can imagine that tech pitchfolks won't be pleased to hear that Arrington has a fave flack. Who would Valleywag go with to place an item on TechCrunch? We've heard young startuppers would be wise to choose FutureWorks' Brian Solis who's a whiz at getting clients like SezWho coverage from Arrington.
