Hey there stranger. Is that a new T-shirt? We like it. It's clever. No really. We get it. You know what's funny? We were just thinking about the last time we saw you. Yeah, no kidding. It seems like yesterday. You came here thinking your day was a total wash. You were on the brink of going home, alone, empty handed, but fortune/Google smiled on you and introduced you to us.
We don't want to brag or anything but we know we showed you something you've never seen before. We bet you went and told all of your programmer friends about it. It's cool. We're proud of our talents. We're even cool with the fact that you probably went and told your boss you figured that problem out all by yourself. No, no, it's fine, don't worry. We're happy for you. We had a good time too, but there is something that does bother us. We never see you anymore. It's kind of awkward.
We know, we know. You've been busy. You got your projects and the office has been a mad house. We TOTALLY understand. We have stuff going on too. Like we've been wicked busy. It's just that when we don't hear from you we kind of feel used. Sorry. "Used" is too strong of a word. Well it's like this. Even though the role of Blogger has evolved over the years, the stigma of having a high bounce rate still exists. Once word gets out on the street you have a high bounce rate, people have no problem stopping in, getting their answer, and then leaving without so much as a comment.
Oh god. We're sorry. We can see your eyes glossing over. Look, we don't expect you to leave a message on our Facebook or Twitter page every day. We don't expect you to immediately introduce us to your CIO or CTO. We know those are big steps. Don't get us wrong. We have lives of our own and don't want to get tied down either.
All we want is for you to follow us on Twitter or become a fan of our Facebook page and occasionally let us know if you like what we are doing. That's all. Who knows. You might find out we're more than a nice pair of technical tutorials and that we are also interesting and funny.
