I must apologize. For some reason your comment got picked up by my spam filter. I rarely check that queue, but since I hadn&#039;t in a while, I did just now and saw your comment.

Welcome to MeAndMyDrum! (albeit belatedly :) )</description>

		<description>Sorry Mark, my comment was a bit ambiguous. We were sending out a newsletter to a few hundred people and it had a typo in it. I was reassured that at least it wasn&#039;t as bad as the email BZ sent out!

I had a look at the Alexa comparison for both sites. Maybe I&#039;m missing something, but I couldn&#039;t see evidence that BZ were even close to Digg at any stage.

		<description>@Meg
You&#039;re a first-time commenter. Thanks!

I&#039;m not entirely clear on what you mean by being an example. Could you clarify please?

As for the Alexa ranking info, overall it can be a good way to measure performance when comparing it to other like sites. I don&#039;t put much stock in the ranking myself, but I do acknowledge that advertisers look at it as a factor when considering where to advertise. So on that point, BZ must be doing pretty well on that.</description>

		<description>Hi Mark

This post was linked to me as an &quot;example&quot; of bad communication (no, not your post - but your write up ;) ).

Something that I don&#039;t think has been mentioned, is the reference to BZ being &quot;month ahead in traffic for the same time of digg&quot; on Alexa. No possible way can I see BZ being anything but a blip? Or maybe I&#039;m not reading Alexa goodly... ;)

		<description>&quot;Second, even someone who just started blogging today knows not to have “insert_your_email_address_here” in the email address that the email is coming from. Hell-ooooo?&quot;

LOL, now that&#039;s classic! :P</description>
