Press database

Hi all!
Let's get working on a list of useful websites and blogs that focus on Windows and Windows Phone apps and games. These websites and blogs are incredibly useful when you're trying to get your app or game in the spotlight. I'm a bit busy right now, but I'll add all the websites that we have succesfully worked with in the past later today. Hopefully, if we work together, we can make a pretty great list of press contacts that will help us and every other developer that's new to Windows (Phone) development!

Here are a few to get things started:
Windows Phone Central | News, Forums, Reviews, Help for Windows Phone
WMPoweruser — The largest independent Windows Phone community

http://www.twitter.com

http://www.facebook.com
A Nokia Windows Phone Blog - Get Reviews, news, and Help from NWP Blog

Thanks! We have had great contact with Eye On Windows, the Windows Club, Wind8Apps and good old Windows Phone Central. These guys are easily contacted and love to write a review about your app/game.

https://www.dvlup.com/ has a blog that posts about new windows phone only apps.

I usually use this list: App Review sites for Windows Phone and Windows 8 apps - Super Dev Resources

For the devs who got their apps on wpcentral; could you share how you tip/contact the people at wpcentral? I've been trying to get on the site a couple of times, but alas with no results. This isn't that surprising obviously as they probably get 100s of these contacts per day (being the #1 WP resources out there). If there are however any hints on how to improve chances of being featured on wpcentral, I think many devs would appreciate this .

But dvlup is only for App developers so limited market scope.. very limited

I would also recommend this: Games Press: The resource for games journalists . It's a site from where most of the game sites get their news, so if you want to reach a broader audience, make an account with them and give them your press releases.
