1. How long does it usually take to get a response from the ?Bloggers? box? Not necessarily in relation to the Stocks position, but just in general. Is a response sent out even if the application has been denied?

Just info seeking. :)

2. Even my question is same. I'd applied for the position but unfortunately there is no reposnse from your side. Even, I did't apply for the blogging stocks. I am not sure on how many requests your guys are getting everyday but I think a simple acknowledgement will make things better.

3. I'm expecting such monster on your blogs like Microsoft and Sun Systems and maybe some smaller companies, such as nVidia and maybe Asus... Oh, and rising question - you are going to cover only american companies? I mean Asus in this case
