A page full of thank yous for some great people
I feel like I haven’t said “thank you” enough lately.
Sometimes it seems like saying “thank you” too often cheapens the phrase and seems fake after awhile. And yet sometimes we never say it often enough.
So, I’m saying “thank you” to everyone on this list. These people have provided various measures of support, encouragement, advice, or otherwise have been swell to me. EDIT: the list is a bit biased to people I’ve encountered on FriendFeed, so I’m trying to broaden it out a bit over time.
I’m linking to every one that I can think of. I know I must be missing a lot of people and my sincere regrets if I’ve overlooked someone.
Here’s the list. I’ve tried to link to each person’s FriendFeed account where I could. That way, you get to see all of the websites and services they use, so you can get a good look at what each person does. Otherwise, I tried to find a key or important link for each person.
EDIT: Nov. 7/08 – I’ve been added more people as I smack my forehead and say, “Damn, how could I have forgotten…?!?”
Once again, thanks!

Thank *you*!
7 November 2008, 6:44 amMark Dykeman:
You're welcome!
7 November 2008, 6:46 amMichael Martine:
I'm grateful that you're thankful! (we could have a politeness war, but let's not!
).
7 November 2008, 7:27 amMark Dykeman:
You are too kind, dear sir! (heh)
7 November 2008, 7:30 amDavid Alston:
Thank you Mark.
7 November 2008, 7:32 amrjleaman:
Mark, I thank you for your thanks – you're a class act!
7 November 2008, 7:41 amAnn Handley:
Thank you for the thank you. And, thank YOU, too.
; )
7 November 2008, 7:42 amMark Dykeman:
Cheers man
7 November 2008, 7:55 amMark Dykeman:
Likewise!
7 November 2008, 7:55 amMark Dykeman:
It's pretty tempting for me to say TY right back at you but, jeez…
You know, we need a new word or phrase to say instead of “thank you” just to mix things up. and, since I haven't thought of it yet…
thanks!
7 November 2008, 7:57 amKatFrench:
Awwww… thanks, Mark.
Your comments are turning into that cartoon with the excessively polite groundhogs: “No, you first!” “No, by all means, I insist, you first….”
Indubitably!
7 November 2008, 8:09 amMark Dykeman:
OK, you go first.
7 November 2008, 8:23 amStupid Blogger:
Gracias, merci, and danke to you as well =)
7 November 2008, 8:38 amMark Dykeman:
T-H-A-N-K Y-O-U too and you're welcome.
7 November 2008, 8:45 amhedwyg:
Awwwwww! <blush> You're welcome, Mark! And thank YOU!
7 November 2008, 8:48 amNeal "thePuck" Jansons:
Thanks so much for the mention, Mark! I sure am getting a lot of warm fuzzies from all the attention lately!
7 November 2008, 9:25 amaureliusmaximus:
Honored to be a part of such a great list – have greatly enjoyed our interactions and everything you bring to the community – thanks!
7 November 2008, 9:26 amTheNanny612:
You are welome, Mark. Thank you.
This post is perfect for November as Thanksgiving is just around the corner.

7 November 2008, 11:40 amDave Martin:
Mark, love you, love your show. Thanks (if dmartin on FF was whom you were referring to). Have a wonderful weekend. All the best,
7 November 2008, 12:16 pmJennifer Van Grove:
Thanks for making my day Mark!
7 November 2008, 12:21 pmLisa:
Mark, Thank YOU. You're an amazing blogger. You produce an amazing amount of material, and I'm proud of the fact you come out of NB:)
7 November 2008, 1:42 pmPamela Weir:
Thank you for including me on this list. You've probably been more helpful to me than I have been to you. I can't wait to see how far you'll take your success. I'm glad that I could be a small part of your circle over these last six months or so. Your insight always amazes me.
7 November 2008, 1:56 pmMark Dykeman:
np
7 November 2008, 4:30 pmMark Dykeman:
Warm fuzzies?!? Oh, you mean good vibes. Sure!
7 November 2008, 4:31 pmMark Dykeman:
Dude, you need to get blogging again!
7 November 2008, 4:31 pmMark Dykeman:
Hey, we already had our Thanksgiving here in Canada. So this kind of straddles the two holidays.
7 November 2008, 4:32 pmMark Dykeman:
Gesundheit! I mean, cheers!
7 November 2008, 4:32 pmMark Dykeman:
I'll take… ONE TRILLION CHEERS!
7 November 2008, 4:32 pmMark Dykeman:
Dave, in reading this comment, I'm reminded of the Mancow radio show from the Chicago area… many callers used to say that.
Maybe I should expand into radio?
7 November 2008, 4:33 pmMark Dykeman:
High five!
7 November 2008, 4:33 pmMark Dykeman:
Lisa, you spilled the beans! I've been pretending to be from the US all of this time!!!!
Just kidding.
You're doing a great job with the Third Tuesday stuff and such and your company is a booming success story for our little part of the world. Cheers!
7 November 2008, 4:35 pmMark Dykeman:
Pamela, you could outwrite me with your eyes closed! I'm just a tinkerer… you write for a living!
Well, OK, I do have the occasional crazy/brilliant idea, I guess, but still….
Thanks!
7 November 2008, 4:37 pmaureliusmaximus:
lol i know i know – past few months have been a bear!
7 November 2008, 6:23 pmJayCruz:
Danke!
7 November 2008, 10:12 pmjessestay:
No, Thank *you*! (and I think you've got my account wrong there – my name doesn't have an “i” in it – the mention was enough, though!)
8 November 2008, 3:18 amAmber S:
I made it to a list! Thanks!
8 November 2008, 3:22 amapp:
I am not sure what I did to deserve to be included in such a wonderful list of people.
