I'm cool with the original post, it just struck me negatively when after approving it I saw the exact same (promotional) comment elsewhere. With all due respect, if you want to plant seeds you probably should take the extra thirty seconds and switch up the text in future messages of that type nature. If you want to get personal feedback and participation you start by being personal, not mass mailish, that's all I'm saying. I asked for examples and was interested to see yours and then it made me feel like I got duped when I saw the same comment completely unpersonalized elsewhere. Best of luck with your project :) Thanks for the persoalized follow-up, Putch.

As to your second comment, yes, there have been on-topic comments made on a variety of blogs to plant the Putch seed in different communities so as to foster a broader range of feedback and participation.

Are you crossposting the same comment to multiple blogs? That's very spammy behavior and definitely not appreciated or desired. Ironic considering the goals of your project ...

Working together as a community we may be able to radically improve the quality of the search results (or perhaps just get in a blacklisting war?)
