I unde...Hey Reid,<BR/><BR/>Thank you for the kind words back. I understand your position and how it could have seemed that way at first. Thanks for your advice. <BR/><BR/>I definitely love to hear what people are saying, and we're very much listening to all the feedback we can get--from users, from bloggers, and wherever else we can. It's been an encouraging response thus far, but we're in this for the long haul, looking to build unique service that delivers true value to people looking to discover and organize media. Thanks for not dismissing it totally. Over the next few months I think you'll find many of our upcoming features very original and inventive. As a single developer effort only, it's all about prioritizing development, but we're doing our very best. Stay tuned.<BR/><BR/>And thanks for the words about reaching out. Another blogger was kind enough to say the same thing: http://webhypes.com/internet/cheers-to-companies-like-blippr-that-interact-with-bloggers<BR/><BR/>Hope to see you using the site in the future. And if not, thanks again for the kind response back. All the best!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4948602374736343845.post-13279977394177866342008-03-19T11:45:00.000-07:002008-03-19T11:45:00.000-07:00Hi Jonathan,I didn't mean to put a slam on your co...Hi Jonathan,<BR/><BR/>I didn't mean to put a slam on your company, but I had an inclination that Blippr was another one of the hundreds of "2.0" companies that get launched every month. I felt that because I had little to no activity on Blippr and I was still befriended by you that you didn't necessarily filter who you wanted to be friends with. That to me is an indication you are trying too hard to make the service work. Also I noticed that you were following far more people than were following you, which was another concern of mine. <BR/><BR/>From the numbers you shared, it does sound as if Blippr is heading towards success. Congrats! I realize I might have been a bit harsh in my initial review, but I'm happy to reconsider. Sometimes you have to be a bit provocative as a writer, and I apologize if I came off as completely dismissive. <BR/><BR/>I appreciate the outreach, and it's that type of involvement within the community that will drive Blippr to wards its goals. Maybe you should let people know how open and engaged you are with the community via the Blippr blog. <BR/><BR/>I'll be sure to check out developments over the next couple months.Reidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05700353894207942952noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4948602374736343845.post-66128530218053605352008-03-19T11:16:00.000-07:002008-03-19T11:16:00.000-07:00Hey Reid, sorry you feel that way. My friending yo...Hey Reid, sorry you feel that way. My friending you wasn't an attempt at "reviving the company" as blippr's use has been steady and we (me and one other guy) have been solely focused on building out the service, with many more features on the way soon. Also, you should note that we simply opened up the service to people via a private beta on February 19, only one month ago. It is not, as you say, that employees have been the only ones adding reviews. We have about a 1500 users at this point, people are inviting their friends and signing up daily, and that is with us having limited our user numbers via private beta explicitly to gain feedback and improve the service and feature set. There are nearly 8000 reviews that have been added in the past month, and over 90% of those are from people completely unaffiliated with blippr (which again, is only a two person team). I'm sorry blippr isn't for you and you find it like other services, but our response from other users has been incredibly positive. As with anything, though, it's not for everyone.<BR/><BR/>Thanks again!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
