I hate to be a cynic on a great contribution Jason, but I can't help think you're doing this To Get More Entrepreneurs Writing, About PadPressed. Or at least, more attention for PadPressed in the WordPress world.

Ulterior motives aside, it's a great offer, good work on putting it together. Best of luck with PadPressed.

Disclaimer: My thoughts are heavily influenced by having just read your piece on how to pitch TC and get press.

I see how that might be a thought, but it's actually the opposite. AppSumo is absolutely awesome for SaaS businesses as it's a customer acquisition technique- get them hooked for 3 months with what amounts to an extended free trial. If they like it, they stay.

For downloadable stuff, like PadPressed, it's not the best thing in the world, especially when we're surrounded by even more awesome people like WooThemes.

I helped do this, just because I want to see everyone get these tools + blog more. Simple, straight forward :).
