• Good luck. I just added you to my favorites.

• I try to make fun of you as often as possible.
  
  Wait, I reread your post, and see that you said we "make it fun for you."
  
  Never mind. I'll go harass someone else now...

• Wow. You do realize how sad this is, don't you?

  By  Jeremy, at 8/27/2006  

• Human tragedies are sad. Silly pandering for Technorati links is actually kind of fun.
  
  Do you always have to be so self-righteous, Jeremy? It gets old, bud.

• Whoa, for a minute I thought you brought back your blogroll. Nope. Glad to be just a little cog in the wheel that takes you to glory. Whatever works for you man ;-)

• OK -- I deserved THAT one.

  By  SB, at 8/27/2006  

• Now that I'm not blogging anymore, can I transfer my favoriting peeps to Scott?

  By  Ike, at 8/27/2006  

• Sounds perfectly reasonable to me...
  
  How's the new gig, Ike?

• I'm in south MS for the great media rush on the Katrina anniversary... and packed and ready to roll whereever as Ernesto approaches "undocumented alien" status.

• As old as pandering for links, Scott?

  By  Jeremy, at 8/27/2006  

• Keep safe, Ike.

• Thanks, Todd.

• Older, Jeremy.

  By  SB, at 8/27/2006  

• A little shameless pandering never hurt anybody. Good luck getting the extra favorites.

  By  Leo Bottary, at 8/28/2006  

• Grazie, Leo.

  By  SB, at 8/28/2006  

• Since we both might agree that shameless can be good, I was wondering if you've added all the people you listed to your Technorati favorites.

• ahem
  I'm a PR blogger too ;-)
  Hope you'll favorite me back!

  By  PRrag, at 8/28/2006  

• OK -- now this IS starting to get ugly...

• If anyone cares, here's our policy on faves.

  By  SB, at 8/28/2006  

• But, if everyone lists you as a favorite and has a lot of favorites, doesn't it diminish the definition of favourites? (Tossed in a "u" for our Britsh and Canadian buddies.)

• Mike,
  
  Do you have an Advil I can borrow?
  
  OK, here's my reasoning -- not that I did more than about five seconds of reasoning before I wrote the post:
  
  1. I don't write this blog so I can read my own writing. If I did, I would lock it up in a cute little diary with a key. I write this blog because I want people to read it.
  
  2. When people read the blog and enjoy it, it makes me feel all happy inside. That's why I like seeing that people have visited the site, or subscribed to the feed, or commented on a post, or added me to their Favorites.
  
  3. While I like being added to people's Favorites, I don't want anyone to add Media Orchard to their Favorites if it isn't actually one of their Favorites. That would defeat the purpose.
  
  4. Do I like my blog to be highly ranked? Sure. It's fun, and it provides an opportunity to expose the blog to more people. I think most who say otherwise are hypocrites -- or at least are kidding themselves.

  By  SB, at 8/28/2006  

• Scott, you know I love your blog, read it all the time, enjoy your point of view immensely. And I don't care if you ask for people to select you as a Technorati fave. Whatever floats your boat, makes you happy.
  
  So, don't take it personally -- I just don't do the Technorati thing. Full stop. Given my opinion of popularity lists in general, that shouldn't surprise anyone :-)

• I’m just glad to be mentioned in a list that doesn’t include "Top 10" and "F.B.I."
