Email Hell(o)

We’ve been running the Sutori Beta since late Monday night when we first invited everyone at Blast Radius to join in, and then on Tuesday when we invited those of you kind enough to sign up on our beta list.

Just before we launched, we setup a new email address - hello@sutori.com - for you to send your feedback and to ask to join the mailing list. We even tested it. At least we think we did.

It turns out that it works fine - if you use an internal Blast Radius email address. In our haste to bring you Sutori we didn’t test the email from outside. We were wondering why only our internal Blast people were giving us feedback - we expected that the community as a whole would be the most vocal contributors.

Well, guess what? hello@sutori.com is broken. It don’t work. Baroken. Its. Dead. Jim.

Oops.

If you’ve sent an email to hello@sutori.com, please accept our very very humble apologies. We screwed up and we’re sorry.

We are working on it - hopefully it’s just a DNS issue - and we’ll let you know here as soon as its fixed. In the mean time, if you want to reach us, this blog is always a great way to get in touch, or use our backup address:

sutori@blastradius.com

UPDATE: This is issue is fixed. Hello@sutori.com is now good to go.

The 16 moods of sutori

I’ve written a few times about the “goodwill slider” that will allow you to quickly sum up the level of goodwill encapsulated in each story you post on Sutori.

Here, again, is a rough mock of what the slider will look like.

Along the way from angry read to happy orange, we’ve now determined that there will be 16 possible moods. Just for fun, here’s what we’re calling them, from best to worst:

  1. I think I’m in love
  2. Extremely delighted
  3. Delighted
  4. Happy
  5. Sort of happy
  6. Vaguely pleased
  7. Barely satisfied
  8. Neutral
  9. Kind of disappointed
  10. Mildly irritated
  11. Irritated
  12. Annoyed
  13. Flat out frustrated
  14. Officially angry
  15. Extremely angry
  16. Absolutely livid with rage

Keep in mind that these are just the starting point. Each story’s goodwill scores will also be impacted by the number of users who agree or disagree with it.
