First, I want to thank everyone who took the time to submit feedback and jokes since we launched. Please keep them coming. (Especially the jokes.)
I want to apologize for being slow to respond. Since we abandoned the idea of a crack team of super-chimps, it’s only been Dave and myself slugging away at the onslaught of email. And everyone knows we have no game compared to super-chimps.
Since we launched a few weeks back, we have been responding to your feedback by tweaking the site, and continuously improving both the results and de-duplication efforts. As we pursue this more aggressively, you will see fluctuations in our job counts and results.
You may have also noticed that we slipped in a few modifications:
- Search should now handle your keywords in a more intelligent manner, as opposed to the old way, which we have creatively termed "the less intelligent manner."
- Error messages, which before were generic and silly, are now more specific and silly.
- While ambiguous locations used to cause the system to spit at you, it now politely gives you a list of choices. But don’t toss that poncho yet.
Coming soon: The ability to fine tune your searches, customize your results and get cleaner clothes without fading.
Oh, and to all the candidates applying for the position of Clown Chauffeur, we are sorry, but this position has been filled.
I also want to apologize for being so silent on this blog. I may be slow to post, but I make up for it with cunning and guile.
