hi Josh, my blog is at http://www.msmvps.com/tcrichard. I'll put a link to your blog up on mine, too.

Michael Butler — Sat, 25 Jun 2005 22:34:52 GMT

Hi Josh.

As with most of the blogs I subscribe to, I read yours because it provides me with information and insights about what the Microsoft are up to in the world of software development. Helping me keep abreast of things I need to know to do my job better.

You probably already know that I read your blog on a daily basis, and toss traffic your way now and then... but I'll not miss the opportunity to plug http://www.larkware.com anyhow.

Scooblog? Whats a Scooblog? :-)

re: Introducing the Scooblog Loyal Reader Reward Program

Robin Capper — Sun, 26 Jun 2005 05:04:07 GMT

Not a programmer but keep an eye on you blog, and other IT blogs, as interested in how development will impact my world as a CAD Manager/CAD user. I have two blogs, one more work focused (CAD/IT/Blogging Tech) and the other more life/fun focused :-)

Michael S. Kaplan — Sun, 26 Jun 2005 05:10:07 GMT

Well, you're on my list already, and I owe my blog looking like how I want it to look to your CSS forays, so I am a loyal reader. :-)

re: Introducing the Scooblog Loyal Reader Reward Program

Alfred Thompson — Sun, 26 Jun 2005 05:19:03 GMT

I'm not sure that my blog is related much to your blog so I'm not sure that you will get ideas about what to post here. But I'm always happy to have readers. :-)

re: Introducing the Scooblog Loyal Reader Reward Program

geoff.appleby — Sun, 26 Jun 2005 06:49:08 GMT

Now that's a nice idea. Do you mind me stealing your idea and doing the same thing?

But yes, I definately read yours all the time (when it's interesting :P)

Hi Josh, I read your blog since you're the self-proclaimed community stick-wielder and, well, I guess I'm part of the community by keeping a blog at http://jelle.druyts.net. So there you go, keep up the good work!

David — Sun, 26 Jun 2005 16:48:53 GMT

It's not really "about" anything, but mostly ends up having a lot of music-related content, Many Excellent Quotes (in the "quotes" section), and the occasional useful software development tidbit.

re: Introducing the Scooblog Loyal Reader Reward Program

KevinHarder — Sun, 26 Jun 2005 17:27:09 GMT

Howdy Josh.
I've been subscribed and reading your blog for about a year now and have left a few scattered comments from time to time. As a .NET developer, I really enjoy reading it for all great dev community stuff you post. You are a good writer as well, at least compared to most developer bloggers. =) Keep up the good work.
Cheers,
Kevin Harder

Bruce Morgan [MSFT] — Sun, 26 Jun 2005 20:14:23 GMT

Two blogs for me. The IEBlog team at http://blogs.msdn.com/ie is obviously the big one.

My personal blog at http://brucemorgan.blogs.com is more a journal than industry comment or technical content, but I'm thinking of changing that once IE7 goes beta, and I can talk about my work without bumping into disclosure issues.

re: Introducing the Scooblog Loyal Reader Reward Program

jledgard — Sun, 26 Jun 2005 20:14:53 GMT

Adam: Thanks for the link. Good to know when MS people read as well!

Mike: Was already subscribed to yours. I do appreciate the link love. :-)

Robin Curry: I've added both blogs now.

Sushant: "Scooblog: What's a Scooblog" - possible Scoobswag fodder.

Robin Capper: Another one I didn't know about.

MichKap: I wasn't specifically subscribed until recently. I had been just reading off of the main MSDN feed, but I've had to cut off that firehose and do more targeted blog reading. Hence this experiment.

Alfred: I think we've actually met a couple of times if you had trialled some of the Old VS Academic tools. I was a tester on that team when it existed. I could be wrong.

Geoff: Steal this idea.

Peter: Readers +=1;

Chris W: Thanks!

Jelle: The stick is for internal use only.

Micheal T: Feel free to keep leaving me feedback on the community stuff I post about.

David: Part of the fun of this is me discovering new content. So I'm subscribed.

Kevin: Didn't know till now you had been scooped up by Rob Howard and Co. Congrats!

re: Introducing the Scooblog Loyal Reader Reward Program

Joel Ross — Sun, 26 Jun 2005 20:53:20 GMT

Josh,

I've been subscribed for a while now, and we even met at Tech Ed and talked briefly about the MSDN forums and VS.NET integration. I've subscribed to the main feed (and therefore your blog) for over a year now, but since the MSDN forums came out, I started following your's closer than before.

Stuart Ballard — Sun, 26 Jun 2005 21:24:43 GMT

I only read it through blogs.msdn.com. Does that count?

There's sooo much traffic on blogs.msdn.com that it's hard to keep track of who's who, but yours is one of the names I'd probably recognize if I heard it out of context, even if I couldn't say from memory *which* articles of yours I found interesting...

(of course before making this post I went and looked at your other articles and discovered that in fact I'd commented on one within the last week, but that was cheating...)

Norman Diamond — Mon, 27 Jun 2005 02:38:21 GMT

Several months ago you asked for opinions regarding blogs and interactions. I mentioned that bloggers (at least the ones I read) seem to be fine people on the whole and it was nice to discover that Microsoft isn't the same kind of oppressive tyranny through and through as Microsoft is in the marketplace. Now you ask for opinions again and this answer is pretty much the same. Loyal reader, sure.

William Luu — Mon, 27 Jun 2005 07:10:27 GMT

Hi Josh, I'm another one of your many blog readers. (My blog is listed in the URL field...)

I've been subscribed to your blog for probably about half a year now. And was reading it for a bit longer than that as part of subscribing to blogs.msdn.com (before it grew in size very quickly).

I think my initial reason for subscribing to your blog in the early days was your Visual Studio tips and tricks (well, ok, powertoys mostly).

re: Introducing the Scooblog Loyal Reader Reward Program

Paul Sainsbury — Mon, 27 Jun 2005 10:25:45 GMT

Hi,
I started reading your blog after a link from your wife's blog. You're one of about 150 odd blogs so I can't say exactly what makes me keep reading your blog - I generally just skim over the subjects of the blogs in my aggregator and if they deal with topics that interest me I'll read them, otherwise I just "mark all as read" and move on.

I realized later that I didn't answer any of the questions you asked, I just brazenly put out my blogsite hoping for a link back. I'm such pond scum...

I read your blog posts because I find your dealings with user/customer perceptions very informative. I've had a history of customer relations management in a couple different roles. Dealing with false perceptions and overall expectations is a tough thing.

Reading through your feedback topics and looking at your comments to them is a nice way to how others handle these things.

Hey, Josh! I saw you at TechEd but I didn't get the chance to come up and say "Hi". The week flew right by before I had the chance to stop by the booth again. Anyhow... you can catch what's on my mind lately (usually Team System stuff) at http://www.davebost.com/blog.

I started reading your blog for the developer tips, but more recently I've enjoyed reading your posts on customer service and what Microsoft is doing along those lines.

Kevin Jump — Tue, 28 Jun 2005 11:45:20 GMT

it turns out I do read your blog, but sometimes it takes another post (http://blogs.msdn.com/jledgard/archive/2005/06/27/433189.aspx) for me to actually go back and let it sink in.

I might put my own reward up if anyone can find any technical content in my blog.
