COMMENTS!

Saturday, December 6th, 2008

Hey everybody, guess what? You can now make comments!

Yes, you could have made comments before, but they did not appear immediately because some genius out there created a spam bot that would add oh, about 10 comments each day with links to pics of you-know-who and his or her you-know-whats. We at Scripped also believe in innovative publicity, but hey, not on our blog. So we had to screen each one, and I got tired of it.

Last night, as I spent 5 hours doing the door shift at the venerable Muddy Charles pub, I installed reCaptcha on our blog. Now the spammers can’t leave their digital poop on our doorstep, and you can have the immediate gratification of seeing your comment posted right away. Just click the comments link below, write your comment, and enter the two words in the reCaptcha box before you click submit or hit enter.

Comments, anyone?

Oh, the blogosphere

Tuesday, February 12th, 2008

Well, the storm is coming and our time draws nigh. The blogs have found us.

It has been one of those days that entrepreneurs live for. The constant stream of emails, each discussing the finer points of our numerous critiques and how we should react. It’s a reason to engage our peripheral advisers with a “Hey, check this out! These guys think we’re going to be millionaires!” And follow up with another flurry of replies.

But more than anything else, it’s market data we simply don’t have access to just yet. For those who found us interesting enough to write about, thank you, because we need to know what writers actually think, and outside of the feedback form on our site, we have precious little interaction with our market. Silent observation of these blogs provides key data that we can use for business decisions.

So thank you, oh blogosphere, for the nice words and candid advice. We will serve thee as best we can.
