So it’s been more than 36 hours now since I signed up for the Alexa Web Services and no email, no call, no response from the Alexa team. Consider this my official Alexa Web Services watch (will update this post when/if I finally connect with them). Since I signed up shortly after seeing John Battelle’s post, I have to be among the first batch of folks who signed up. It’s definitely odd that I haven’t at least received an auto-reply message.

Anybody else hear something back yet?

Update 12/14/2005 4:41pm PST: Received an email from “Alexa Web Search Platform Account” with the following message:

Hello,

Thank you for applying for an Alexa Web Search Platform Beta account. Due to the high volume of applications it may take a few days to get back you.

We appreciate your interest.

12/16/2005 9:36pm PST Rejected! Receieved the “sorry, we’re full” email at 5:55pm PST. It was a lot longer than that, polite and professional. Seems like I might get a shot once they add more capacity but they are making this a very limited release. Again, I signed up within the first couple hours of the announcement. This early bird didn’t catch the worm. I’m going to check with some other developers I know signed up and see if they got in.
