How can you help, you ask? Click below:
Thanks to everyone who reads Media Orchard — and especially those who leave comments regularly. You make it fun for us.
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?
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.
Now that I’m not blogging anymore, can I transfer my favoriting peeps to Scott?
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?
Keep safe, Ike.
Thanks, Todd.
Older, Jeremy.
A little shameless pandering never hurt anybody. Good luck getting the extra favorites.
Grazie, Leo.
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!
OK — now this IS starting to get ugly…
If anyone cares, here’s our policy on faves.
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.
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.”
