Beer buying

Posted by stuart as

John Chow want you to buy him a beer using the “buy me a beer” Wordpress plugin.

Once again, the raving sycophants are are congratulating John, and he is basking in self-congratulation.

Pfffft, been done before

!@#$%^& Stu,

guess i got into your tweaking cycle or something is really broken here.

This is the fourth time I’m typing this. And I’m tired of checking my spelling… Here’s the original reply:

This is what you get when you build a big loyal folowing. Especially if you do it in a short time.

You can post about “new” ideas months after they were originally fresh. Most of your readers missed it And you are still helping them

Sorry Staska. My host is having massive problems, doing a raid rebuild or something at the moment. :-(
My point is all the people saying “wow, great idea john!” etc, this is nothing new, been around for years.

Good luck to him though, I’ll bet he makes heaps more out of it than I ever did! ;-)

No problem. Put it into clipboard after the first failure. BTW. who’s your host? The site loads OK but the comments…

It’s been 2 hrs that I try to make this post… Thank god for clipboard again…

About JC (nice acronym, isn’t it?) post. Yep. Nothing new in principle, but very new for most of his readers. And most of them never heard of it… So it is a great suggestion… for them

That’s why I’m collecting various interesting stories from Digg, reddit FP and many other sites. Post it a year later, put your experience and spin on it… And you have a geat post.

Host is resellerzoom.

Don’t really want to go through the headf*ck of changing hosts again.

So many domains………

Yeah, Likewise

I know what you mean about self congratulatory posts on that blog, but in defense, John didn’t write the plugin (plus I’m going to blog about it too, but in a less self congratulory way).

Your offer seems much better since you get a dirt cheap link back from your site :)

sadly I canned the offer some time ago.

might have to resurrect it using the plugin in question
