Hey Warren,

Thanks for the feedback on the popup, that's the first negative comment we've gotten about it and up until now it's been testing really well on the 2 minute delay.

Truth is, I've seen almost everyone I know be "That Guy", including me, including you. The key is balance. We're all trying to keep our businesses profitable, and at times, we'll all err on the side of the marketer in us. And that's actually okay. Some business mixes with social media.

But I'm not talking about "the fine line" here. I'm talking about, out and out, blatant self-promotion without even the *attempt* to connect.

The majority of people are not "that guy" and think that people that come to sites like this are pushy marketers.

The fact that we are here identifies as as people who need to be careful about being seen at "that guy"

We all know the kind of guy Tinu is talking about, and any normal person shuns him... but WE all have to watch for this too. (like that pop up that came up in the middle of me writing this ).

I don't want to be "that guy"

Hey,

I love your blog, thanks for stopping by. It's gone so far beyond the blog comment spam though, hasn't it? It's to the point where you're getting spam on Twitter, Facebook, Plurk... it's crazy.

Here, here! I totally agree. Bloggers are implementing captcha images on their comments but still miss these guys who act like 'bots' but have very good eyesight. I sympathize with you and others --- my blog is new so I've had only one spammer, sort of a milestone (lol). Very little we can do but try to reflect back on them with articles like this.

Hi Haroun,

I try to do what I say I will. Glad you're getting the emails but no I'm really not "better". Just doing what I can while I can to wrap up some old business and follow through on my word as far as this daily newsletter.

Thanks, and great to see you.

Good to hear that you are feeling better. Look forward to your newsletters :)
