Questions

I want to link this as I think its important that people be able to find this easily.

I logged into my email earlier on and there were 33 new emails from people who had questions about the sale of BlogExplosion that they want answered and I have collected most of these questions and I put them on here in the hope (ha ha ha) that an authoritive figure from BE will answer those questions. Perhaps Orange Haired Boy can answer them seeing as he has nominated himself as someone important who can squash nasty rumors about BE. I will link to Orange Haired Boy seeing as he is a brown nosing whore and he'll notice the link and come sniffing around.

1) just what exactly is the real reason behind the sale? Could it be a difference of opinion or failing partnerships between Thomas and Jeff?

2) why hire new staff 2 months ago just to sell? Will these people lose their jobs?

3) Blogcharm was talk of the town and boasting about how individuals would make money from it and yet now they are selling, when just a few weeks ago they were promoting the March 1st release date of Blogcharm from beta. Why?

4) why talk about a brand new redesign if they are selling?

5) the lottery that Jeff has been talking about for months, the big plans and the tireless efforts of his staff looking for a suitable script oops I mean the tireless efforts of his staff hand coding the script. Why start off something like that if you're going to sell? We're still waiting for that to be released and yet come March we are still waiting. Does this mean no lottery?

6) how come there are 27362 members on the forum and only 37117 blogs in the BE directory but Jeff is saying there are 50000 members? The number of blogs is not an accurate counter as one member can have more than one blog registered under their membership, so where did Jeff get this figure?

7) from such a big blog exchange company BlogExplosion is making an average of $4000 per month. This looks like a wonderful figure except when you take into consideration that there is (according to Jeff) a 50000 strong membership base.

I've been having a look around and according to information on the helpme blog from October 2004 to February 2006 BlogExplosion have made $74193. Not a bad figure, but it adds a new slant to the actual selling price of BlogExplosion.

To me, that is not a sign of a booming and prosperous exchange site and is mediocre at best.

On a lighter note, Rachel the cunt has changed blog address and you will no longer find her at Bitchalicious and you can now find her here. Pop on over and say hi.
