My email has been bouncing because we got nailed in The Planet's generator explosion fiasco that took down 9,000 of their servers this week. They're *still* trying to get all the servers back up and running.
Hi Ted,
I like your analysis on your post about A-list blogs versus long tail return on advertising dollars. Interesting comparison.
I've seen you ask about Radian6 on twitter. If you are interested in more information, I'd be happy to help. Are you looking into these tools perhaps in some way related to socialspark? Just thought I'd drop you a line in case. You can DM me (www.twitter.com/lebrun)
