Hey, Nathaniel, did you ever finish spamming, I mean informing all the ET members about the new and improved CE? If not, let me know where you left off and I’ll get to work on some of them, too.
heh, I’ve been meaning to start that back up again. I was going through the EW pages by a search on EW for "comment exchange". My logic was that those who actually made the declairation on their profile would be more likely to be participating members (although it might not be a bad idea to go through the member list on ET either).
My method was simple, look at their profile to make sure they’re a member. Look at a few of their pieces. Make a comment that started with an actual comment (so it isn’t just spam). and end the comment with a notice that the CE is now at http://www.commentexchange.org
I thought about doing that… but then I realized that ET doesn’t email you if you get a message At the very least, I don’t get emailed. So I would assume that many people also have similar funcitons. However, EW does email me (although I know I had to opt for that to happen). I figured it would be the best bet simply because it gets the word out to members, and also random people who stop by. So far it seems to have worked fairly well.
