Doesn’t change anything. Take a look at a blog post I wrote last December about the Museum of Modern Art in New York. I didn’t ask anyone to comment, and I didn’t mention any names, yet the museum commented; moreover, it called out another museum who further commented.

If you scroll back to the initial post two weeks ago, I asked for the six individuals or their colleagues to respond. Three did–err, now, four did. Which begs the question if I didn’t mention anyone’s names whether anyone would respond, like the museum did. Hmm.

Let’s see…because he has client work that takes priority. I have over 100 twitter follows sitting in my inbox that I haven’t gotten to b/c I’m doing my paid work. I’ll get to those as soon as I can – doesn’t mean I don’t care about connection with those people.

And, you didn’t go after Forrester really – you went after Jeremiah, you’re going after him now.

Ignorance can also be claimed as a customer response.

But I hear what you’re saying. Thanks.

How is replying two weeks after the fact considered “as soon as he could,” Julie?

Yes, I’m being hard on him. I admit that–because he works for a firm that analyzes the internet and runs metrics. If he worked for a 10-person operation, I’d have a much different response. See my point?

Geez Ari give me a break. Ya, it's link bait and then you have the nerve to go for another dip by calling out Forrester and Jeremiah on this. You've got to be kidding me. Do you honestly think that all these people do all day long is read their name and respond to silly experiments like this. Me thinks you're a bit full of yourself Dude and I'm with Julie on this. Jeremiah gets points for responding at all. If I were him, I would have simply ignored you. Ron Miller´s last blog post..Time for the News Business to Get Its Head Out of the 20th Century

You know, Ari (and Jeremiah) – I’ve been thinking about this all day.
Ari – I think you’re being too tough on the guy. Think about how much he has on his plate – which he states above – and then give him a frickin’ break. Could he have a staff that handles this so that things don’t get missed? Sure. But then everyone would berate him like they did Guy Kawasaki when it was revealed that his staff was tweeting for him.

I loved reading that there he was, like me, working at 2 a.m. – getting to you as fast as he could.

Also – and I say this with all due respect – who decided that responding to YOUR blog was the most important thing du jour. It’s wonderful and full of fantastic information, but it’s not like Obama himself asked folks to report to duty and then Jeremiah didn’t show up.

And. When he did show up here…he did it so well. With humility, facts, questions and answers.

I think he gets an A.
