Silicon Valley, CA - There are a few new features here at Receiving Me? that, according to a scientific analysis that you should pretend we did, warrant mentioning. From now until the great day of reckoning, Receiving Me? will be highlighting the top comment contributors to our periodical. (Front page, bottom left corner.) For those of you actually paying attention, you have surely noticed that certain writers for this magazine are not included in that list, even though they have written more comments than anyone else… that’s because we hate them. Glad I cleared that up. Continuing on the subject of comments, you lucky readers now have the option to receive email notification when another reader responds to the same article on which you’ve previously commented. Do this by checking the box that reads, “Notify me of followup comments via e-mail”, just beneath the regular comment text-field. Obviously, you should use a real e-mail address if you expect to be notified! Otherwise, in lieu of your absence, nobody@gmail.com will have to continue the conversation for you. A final note on comments: we now feature a comments section on our Games page, which we hope you will fill with lots of trash-talk, high scores, suggested games, pearls of wisdom, and porno links. We believe in you!

Sharing is caring.

Receiving Me? has added the world renowned “addthis button” to every published article. With this magical button you can add individual articles to Digg, StumbleUpon, Facebook, Delicious, etc. If you like an article, submit it, comment on it, and get it out into the vast reaches of the interweb. If you don’t like an article, submit it, comment on it, and get it out into the vast reaches of the interweb. If you feel completely neutral about an article, submit it, comment on it… (you get the point). Oh, but no need to submit this article (this really is just for us), unless you really want to… ah hell, submit this one as well!

A final word from our sponsors.

I’m sure this will come as a surprise to you all, but Receiving Me? is not ranked among the top-ten financially sound journals of excellence. In fact, when U.S. News and World Report put out a comprehensive list of the top one-hundred financially sound journals of excellence, we could only assume they misspelled our name, “Wall Street Journal“. I’m sure next year they will make amends. Regardless, the point remains that we will never, under any circumstances, ever, ever, ever, debase our readership by pointing out to them that clicking on our Google adds every day will eventually put cash in our pockets. We are contractually obligated to hide that information from the public at all costs, and we will do just that. Consider yourself uninformed! However, if you buy something at Amazon after clicking through our banner at the bottom of any page, we get Washingtons; that, I believe, we are allowed to mention- I’ll make sure to spell that out at some point… I promise.
