Dancing with the Stars and stock market update 9-26-07 9am

I got a long winded email from Blogrush apologizing about this and that, blah, blah, blah. I took the widget off already since I didn’t see one referral with over 3000 credits used up. I gave it a week and found out it was weak and blogrushed it off my internet real estate. I know we all went in with the same attitude about giving it a try and nothing to lose. I still haven’t found a raving review from anyone actually benefiting from the widget.

Last night, I watched Dancing with the Stars with the male contestants. I really enjoyed it this time. I was actually impressed with the Brazilian race car driver Helio. He looked very fluid and graceful for his first dance. The judges were very impressed too. I think I will be rooting for him because he does seem so genuine and grateful just to be there. Some of the other dancers made me laugh, but in a good way. I think this season will be very enjoyable to watch. ABC is really milking this show by putting it on for 3 nights, but that is just programming.

The stock market is closing in on its high numbers for the year. It wasn’t thank long ago the Dow was at 14,000. Maybe my earlier prediction of a Dow 15,000 isn’t that far fetched anymore.

DOW	13,857.18	+78.53
NASDAQ	2,703.86	+20.41
S&P 500	1,525.48	+8.27

I found the email very long-winded and extremely unprofessional as well. More than half of it was a personal rant. And coming from someone like John Reese whom I hear so many people having high regard for, was even more distasteful in my opinion. A pity. I’d still give Blog Rush some time but they’d better fix the widget customisability soon. I don’t care about colour – I want to be able to fix the size.

I took it off already but may have done so prematurely. I notice the more widgets I put on my site, the slower it gets, so I must be picky about what to put on. Otherwise, I could lose return traffic because they might think the site is too slow or just down.

I think the idea of blogrush was good, but the execution was poor. Considering all the hype they put up, users were expecting big things and not excuses.
