Yesterday was one of the days I would love to erase out of my Blogging History …. I used the 3 Column K2 Version for a while now. But for some reason my DB went nuts lately and just shots down after awhile. Restarting the server seems to help, for a little while.
I am assuming that one of my Plugins and the Theme did not going along pretty well.
So I decided to change the layout a little bit and use the original K2 theme. I can live with that, but I am getting very itchy to get a totally new one. The loading time of RGS sometimes can be slow, because of all the third party application like displaying the MyBloglog Widget and stuff. If you have any input, please let me know. If you are a talented WP Theme Designer …. don’t be shy and email me 
Our relaunch of Criticker went very well. On one of the first days we even had 290 new users just in one day. Not too many complaints and a nice amount of praise and supportive feedback.
The movie blog on Criticker is rolling some fun movie related posts:
Now some bitching if I may …
I thought that Web 2.0 and Start Up Blogs like:
many others would be interested in Criticker. And the fact that it’s just dude working from their home office in Ireland, trying to make a living with their sites without any founding whatsoever. My answer to that is whatever.!
GRRRR
Sorry that this turned into a little bitchy post.
Well if you know someone who is really into movies send them an email letting them know about our little movie recommendation site and if you have a website (Facebook, Myspace, Blog, etc) why not post a little something about Criticker. Let me know where you posted something and I will in return post something on RGS about each site in sets of 5.
You might think why Criticker even exists and that there tons of movie recommendation sites are out there. Well, Criticker steps in front of all other sites because it’s most accurate and we are not hiding how we come up with our users recommendation.
….GRRRRR
Besides that things are all good, posting will be slow until Monday good friend from Boston is visiting …. but try to post at least something once a day.
RGS Readers, you are the best.

How can you be upset at our podcast for not covering your relaunch? I have never heard of your site, nor do I see any attempt on your part to contact us.
I am getting ready to launch a new site myself… Should I just get upset when techcrunch doesn’t notice it?
You want to know how we scored big names to come on our show and talk to us? We emailed them and just asked, that was it. Contact us and give us a chance to look at your service before you condemn all the blogs.

Josh,
the internet is alive
I have contacted you guys not too long ago but of course would be more than happy to contact you again.
It’s just frustrating sometimes to see what sites get featured sometimes and it is obvious that there are big companies behind them. We are just 2 dudes trying really hard to make it and think that criticker has real potential.
And of course it gets really frustrating if getting in touch with these sites and not even one writes back to give any kind of feedback. I am not upset not to get features but because getting the feeling not even getting acknowledged.
