To Dave Sifry, Janice Myint and Technorati

ME Liz Strauss wrote this at 12:19 pm

Dear Dave, Janice, and all the Technorati Team,

I’m sorry I rained on your parade yesterday. That wasn’t very nice of me. Usually I’m more careful of such things.

My head was still attached to my heart. The problem was I was only thinking of the people on this side of the equation. I could have let you celebrate your glory for a day. How arrogant of me to charge right in there to find fault. I really am sorry.

But how did you respond?

With winning colors!

Every comment that I forwarded was attended to as far as I can tell — fast, effectively, and without a word of “hey look us.”

And then this morning, an IM from Janice with the biggest surprise of all.
Major corrections to my link count.

Sometimes it’s even harder to move when everyone’s watching.

Thank you, Dave, Janice, and everyone who heard me.

Thank you, for letting me know I bet on the right team.

    Well said, Liz and well done Technorati team. I’m glad we have you to help speak for us Liz, and a group responsive enough at Technorati to listen.

    BTW - My links came back, too. I got some of my authority back ;)

    Way to go team Technorati!

    Hearty thanks Liz as I thought I was nutty for experiencing those spastic changes. My links look like they’re all in order now :-)

    Yeah, things seem better all around on Technorati today. I was even in the top 5,000 for, oh, two hours. :-(

    (S’okay. I’ll be back.)

    I can’t count the number of times I’ve yelled at Dave and Janice. Fortunately, they’ve always been good sports about it.

    Glad that things are working better now. We’re keeping our ears to the ground, so if you have or hear of any other issues or problems, please don’t hesitate to let Janice or me know…

    Thank you, Dave,
    For everything, but most especially for listening and doing something that showed you heard.

    Liz,
    My old blog - evans.blogware.com - hasn’t been updated in 164 days according to Technorati. I’ve e-mailed them several times but to no avail. Maybe this post can help!…:)

    Hi Mark,
    I’m sure Dave and Janice will want to know. :)

    My links updated, too. The squeeky wheel theory gets another shot in the arm. The Technorati blog has a notice of a bug fix, too.

    Thank you David, Janice, Brian, et. al.

    HART - I have never seen the HUH! notice before. Your uniqueness shines through! :-)
