May 2011 Partner Assignments

Posted on Sunday, May 01, 2011 at 05:28 AM • 23 Comments • 524 views

Partner assignments will be posted here, you'll post your interview URLs here, you can even post your questions here in the comments, once you've sent them to your partner. It centralizes things a bit more, makes things a little more transparent, and hopefully does away with some of the frustrating communcations-drops that have happened in previous rounds.

Milestone dates for this month are:

  • 1st: interview partner assignments posted to the site.
  • 10th: (recommended) last day email their interviews to that month's partner.
  • 20th: (recommended) last day respond to your partner's interview of you.
  • 28th: last day for interviews to be posted on each participant's blog, and for URLs of those interviews to be left in the comments for that month's partner-assignment post. You can post earlier...just don't post later.

If you try contacting your partner and they don't respond, please leave a comment here so that you can be rematched with someone else who is actually participating. Emails sent to me will not count as "participating".

Partner assignments for the month of April 2011 are:

Completed:

To Be Done:

On hiatus / no response

All those links go to folks' member profile page, so you may need to log in to see the information (like their Twitter ID and their actual site URL.)

Write up seven questions for your partner, send them off, and then once you've received your answers and posted the interview on your site - leave that URL here. You have until the 28th of the month to post your interview with your partner on your site. You're free to post it earlier if you wish, and leave the URL here once you're done.

Please log in to leave a comment. (You'll need to refresh this page once you've logged in to see the comment form.)

Hi, LiAnn! I’ve already interviewed KimmieKarmaLove (last month).

Gah - that was a last-minute changearound when someone asked to be removed, and I forgot to check last month’s roster.

I emailed my partner smile

Cosmeddicted, your partner commented on 5/3 in the May opt-out thread, and is taking this month off. I’d like to wait a few days (until the 6th) to see if anyone else drops, and then you’ll have their old partner. If no one else drops by Friday (Pacific time), I’ll interview you for this month. (I think I’ve interviewed you once already…but that’s why I want to wait and see if anyone else needs a partner.)

As I mentioned in my e-mail to you, I’m going to have to sit this month out. =/

Thank you for letting us know. I will reassign your partner. If you need to opt out next month, please leave a comment in one of the June 2011 posts.

Emails and tweets are no longer the method of communication for B3. Everyone is asked to leave comments if they need to opt out, or if their assigned partner doesn’t respond, so that everything’s out in the open. That was why, in my reply to you, I asked if you could please leave a comment saying that you’d be taking the month off. Thanks for following up with that.

Excellent - thanks!! I’ve updated this month’s list with your link.

Hi, my interview is up as well! http://www.cosmeddicted.com/2011/05/beauty-blogs-backstage-interview-with.html

Thanks, K!

On 05/15 at 06:35 PM, Phyrra said:

Hi, still no response from my partner.

On 05/15 at 06:42 PM, LiAnn said:

Okay - thanks for speaking up. We’ve interviewed each other previously - but would you object to another round (unless someone else speaks up and they’ve also not gotten a response from their partner?)

On 05/15 at 06:43 PM, Phyrra said:

That would be fine wink

After some comment posting fails, I finally get through. I haven’t received a reply from my partner so far. Boo, but I can live with sitting out this round.

On 05/19 at 04:28 PM, LiAnn said:

Well, phoo!! For both the comments not working smoothly and for an MIA partner. It’s already the 20th, while it IS possible that they’ll send your questions over the weekend, I’ll keep my thinking cap on for an alternative. Maybe I can interview you this month, just so that you do get interviewed? Something. But no matter what, thanks for speaking up. Worst case, you’re counted as “participating” this month, because - hey, you tried, and you’re speaking up by the final “recommended-deadline” date.
