TweetMeme is a wonderful service which has helped my blog out a lot! And its only been live since July 13th, 2009. You guys are really on to something there and I’m glad to see you’re focusing your efforts to stay on the front line.

Nick, sorry to see it go (not least cos you were sort of a rival, back in the Blog Friends days).

BUT I am (and have always been) very bullish about tweetmeme and you are absolutely without a shadow of a doubt doing the right thing to focus on it! In fact, I’ve got a couple of quid on a tweetmeme exit so you’d better continue to do well!

I look forward to sharing a beer with you over this one day soon

Hi Louis,

Criticism is never easy to take, but not all criticism is laid at your door for the right reasons, you have only ever been completely open/fair with us and therefore we (and many others) respect your opinion.

I certainly have learnt to grow a thicker skin with the trolls, and to also listen to those I know and or respect.

Most important is to innovate, listen, adapt, repeat.
