Not a good tactic at all. And don't be afraid to leave your blog URL! I love checking out new blogs. Agreed, Peter. Not a good tactic at all. And don’t be afraid to leave your blog URL!

They spammed me this morning - I can't believe startups like this who wish to be taken seriously resort to spamming to build their brand and product awareness. They must have calculated any negative press will be offset by the awareness they get. I hope they miscalculated - the market should weed out this kind of slimy tactic. Their email to me started with: "I noticed your blog on Technorati and wanted to tell you..." but I don't have a blog on Technorati! You guys suck Peter.

We will probably develop an HTML version later on to address this issue. Indeed, WordPress.com not self hosted does not accept javascript.

Thanks a lot. You do seem to be a marketing expert. You do have also a nice blog, related to web topics and with some good content. I am not saying this to flater you, just to explain that this was not intended to be a random email. This reason why your blog was specifically targeted for this email is that we are precisely looking only for your type of blog for this beta test. Indeed, it is important for AutoRoll to keep our beta testers as an homogeneous group. Otherwise, results would be not relevant. We try our best to be a little more focus than viagra ads ;-) However, I wonder where this Jeff name is coming from. Nothing related to you. Strange bug indeed. Sorry for that! Next time, we will double check more carefully each email we send. Thanks again for your nice feedback. Great feedback indeed! Thanks a lot. You do seem to be a marketing expert.
