One of the more enjoyable things about this social experiment of paying bloggers to blog about Marqui has been the banter back and forth - among our bloggers, and our blogger wanna be's. Much of the banter was in e-mail threads, so they're not in the public domain, but there were some laugh out loud reading moments.

Here are the Top 10 Blogger Quotes so far (with names withheld to protect the guilty):


1. I'm dirty. So dirty… (Marqui blogger)

2. If you don't stop googling yourself you'll go blind. (Marqui blogger)

3. I'd love more information about being one of your bitches. (Wannabe Marqui blogger)

4. Try reaching a little deeper for a metaphor next time. How 'bout, "poo poo pants.� (Marqui blogger)

5. Blog Slut (Category of blog posts - Marqui blogger)

6. Stop bringing a butter knife to a gun fight. You are not up to the task. (Marqui blogger)

7. It's the fact that I disagree with you that makes you think I should shut up. (Marqui program dissenter)

8. This "blogosphere/purity" rap is so, so, so, so 2003ish. (Marqui blogger)

9. Lets use the code name "pond scum", when you are referring to them so they don't get more press than they deserve. (Marqui program dissenter)

10. Dabblemode powers activate. (Marqui blogger)


Of course, perhaps these aren't funny, or even fun to most people. Maybe I should worry a bit about developing a warped sense of humor after only ten weeks of the program?

These exchanges haven't all been fun, but they've been very creative and full of emotion.

There's not much more a marketer could hope to be engaged in.

Interesting to say the least.

Speaking of marketing this is something that you guys might want to read. www.sitepoint.com/article/beware-opening-links-new-window

It's a big pet peeve of mine concerning this site, and I'm pleading you to fix it!

This certainly bears further thought - and action! I will blog about it soon.

I (personally) like links that pop up to new windows, but rollovers or are certainly a polite way to warn people what we're about to do...

Do people (in general) feel strongly one way or another? Good food for thought. Thank you! More soon...

Well, it's fine I guess if you use Internet Explorer and are used to links opening in new windows, but for those of us that use tabbed browsing (via Firefox or Netscape for example) it grows tiresome. It's not a big deal, and I'm sorry for hijacking the post on a less than relevant topic.

I enjoy reading the blog; I'd just rather see it in the same window I came from. :)

Keep up the good work!

That the problem with marketers, always the bridesmaid. It is time to make the commitment.

Step over that itty bitty line right here.....

RE: Sense of humor. Don't worry, until my stuff begins to get you nodding your head instead of laughing, then you have a problem.

Separate browser pop-up windows rule. Back buttons suck...

Open in a new window if you want... I don't care. I CTRL-Click links in blog entries to force the link to open in a new tab.
