would you pay for google reader, the results, sorta

A couple weeks back I asked readers how much they’d pay for Google Reader. I asked folks to add their comments to the post inside Google Reader by hitting Share with a Note.
In truth, I wanted to see how items are passed within Google Reader.
And it’s still a bit unclear.
I do know that people did share the post. I saw at least 3 people I follow leave a comment. But each time they did, Google Reader created a new instance of the post. I also know that more than those 3 people shared the post, because FeedBurner tells me it was one of my most viewed items in the history of this blog.
Did you see it shared in your Reader?
I’m unsure what value there is for Reader to create a new instance of the post each time someone adds their comment. And I also know that I have seen posts shared inside Reader with multiple people’s comments. So when does it decide to bundle comments on a single instance and when does it decide to create a new instance?
Anyway, thanks for playing.

Because I have Photoshop.
Also, Ferris taught me that you can never go too far.
one day left to win a spot on the andys jury

Hey. You’re clever.
You should, right now, sign up for the Squirrel Fight.
Let’s do the math:
- You come up with a clever idea to generate the call for entries for the 2011 ANDY Awards
- Your idea is awesome, damn awesome
- You win the last spot on the Jury for the ad awards
- You fly to a secret location, stay in some swanky place, and spend your time with the 19 other jurors
- You persuade one of them to give you a new job, a grant, or the secret location to the private island off of Manhattan that only rich ad people know about, and where they hunt the most dangerous game for sport
It all starts with signing up for the Squirrel Fight and submitting your idea. And the deadline is August 31, 2010 @ 11:59pm MT.

You have precious hours left to vote on SXSW panels. And if bumperstickers have taught me anything, if you don’t vote you can’t bitch. And who doesn’t like to bitch?
Go vote for Thunderdome right now (please please please?)
And then consider these damn fine panels, too.
And maybe, just maybe, if our panel gets selected, Mike will regrow that awesome stache.
