今天是2007年6月1日, 这是个很好的日子, 六一儿童节, 孩子们应该都欢天喜地地过属于自己的节日呢. 我也挺高兴, 因为想着今天应该能等到bloggerwave付给我的美元.

终于, 刚才看到GTalk有新邮件提醒, 满怀欣喜地打开信箱才看到是一封statement, 全文如下:

Statement about Bloggerwave

We are fully aware that bloggerwave.com has been receiving quite controversial reviews in recent days. The supporters of bloggerwave.com know the facts and have praised our transparent approach to business. The negative approach indicates that we do not pay attention to the needs of our bloggers.

One thing is certain; bloggerwave’s current and future success is based on our bloggers, who are our most important assets. We understand that in order to make a historical cornerstone in the business of advertorial content we need you.

We apologize for the delays in the payment process which has been subject for discussion on a number of blogs – the delay was external and not directly under our control or caused by our system. This is not an excuse as it our responsibility to make sure that you are paid on time and in accordance with the agreement. We further apologize for any inconvenience that could have been caused to you as a result of the delays. We are now looking at various options to have a backup payment system in place to ensure you receive an improved service from bloggerwave. com .

We are about to fine-tune several things at bloggerwave.com so we can meet the growing expectations by our advertisers and bloggers and you will witness these improvements over the coming weeks and months.

Bloggerwave.com will get a total redesign and add more functionality to the site. The new design and its functionality will clearly differentiate us from our competitors and provide us with stronger brand recognition. All of the affiliated bloggers are invited to comment and make suggestions to our upcoming design.

We have also decided to launch our services to more countries in Europe and Asia. We are continuously getting a positive feed back from these markets – both from companies who want to launch a campaign and bloggers who want to join us. We have signed an agreement with a major media & marketing agency serving blue chip companies in media planning. As a result of this cooperation our bloggers will benefit from wide spectrum of expanded business in the European as well as international market.

I would like to thank you all for being part of Bloggerwave.
Yours faithfully,

Ulrik S. Thomsen
CEO Bloggerwave.com

文章大意: 此份声明先将广大参与撰写付费评论的blogger们大加赞扬, 称之为”最重要的财富”, 接下来就是正题了, “由于外部的, 不能直接由我们所控制的原因导致此次付款的推迟”, 并且”这不是借口”, 他们还”正在寻找其他的支付系统以确保更好的服务”… 下面的就不用看了, 全是套话, 再加上这位CEO先生对自己公司前途的设想. 总的说来, 就是说这次付款推迟了. 不过没说推迟到什么时候.

对啥时候能付款我也不抱什么希望了, 如果真的只是”推迟”, 将来拿到最好, 拿不到就自认倒霉了. 在此, 再一次对已经拿到美元的同仁表示无尽的羡慕. (今天还真倒霉, 早上收到PayPerPost的Rejection)
