The Blogrush Wait
Blogrush code removed - update:10/23/2007 they finally made their updates and determined we were not good enough for their widget /service or our review. One can only guess, as to why we would be removed. It is hard to review something when it doesn’t work(even before we were deemed good enough or not) Something smells. Good luck Blogrush and John Reese.
Blogrush Update 10/14/2007:
BlogRush - The Mighty Phase 2
BlogRush will soon unleash PHASE 2 of its network.
This is a MAJOR update. The service is not even 30 days old, yet we’re about to release more changes than most Internet startups do in their first 6 months.
Bloggers will wait, while others just hate.
If you are following any of the Blogrush story, you’ll see the amazing amount of support they have for John Reese and his efforts. You will also see or here the complaining ones that always expect something from nothing, meaning its free so why complain?
A discussion the other day brought up the topic of stats and the idea of privacy vs increased readership. What does that mean? It means, are different code snippets of java script applications, there to add more content and/or something good to your popular or not yet popular site? OR just good backend research stats for the would be collector to know competition and or whatever?
A better example might be “MyBlogLog”. (now owned by yahoo) or Google AS users. As soon as you put something like that on a site, it tells Yahoo and Google exactly what traffic you are getting. Which some will say, so what. Well, if you are new and are trying to get visitors in etc and are thinking the search engines will pick you up in turn adding to the snow ball effect of growth but then realize that that isn’t happening. One might think that the SE is not seeing traffic increases so they just keep you from the light of day, so to speak. This topic can go on and on and round and round so, why ask at all?
There are days that even the best have their doubts as to what they know. Maybe all we really know is there will always be something new to discover and always garbage to throw out.

update: John Reese is pissed. Looks like a few blips are causing a stir.
It may have been the buzz I had while reading the email but I couldn’t help but think “i wonder if i viewed my own pages too many times or clicked a link to see what the story was about etc and if that was what we were supposed to do? Kinda reminded me of having an AS account to which i block the java so not to click on my own ads. Was I supposed to look at the titles referred? Should i block the blogrush java? I thought it was pretty straight forward but it made me think.
Its too bad that people have to cheat the system which in turn makes the system more difficult for everyone.
On a brighter side, without mistakes would we have this much drama / attention anyway? Keep up the good work John Reese.
(please forgive any mistakes i’m kinda of tired but felt like saying something)
