SearchTempest

A collection of Emails

Huh?

As you can imagine, I get a lot of feedback here. I've often though it'd be funny to publish some of the more insane emails. Now that I've finally decided to do that, I figure I'll throw up some of my favourite good ones too. Honestly the vast majority of emails I get are great, so they should be represented. :)

The Best

• Just a Note to Say Thanks

  Dear Nathan,

  I wanted to take the time to write a brief note in order to say thank you for Search Tempest. It has been very helpful and saved me hours when searching craigslist for needed items.

  I have been using your Craigslist search engine for months now and have passed the web site address along to relatives. It is a tremendous web site, thank you for creating it.

• Thank you!

  I said to myself, there just HAS TO BE A WAY to search more than one location on craigs list!! auuugh!!! (I grumbled time and time again) Until one day, duhhh, do a search and find out. Low and behold, right there in front of me in my goggle search! A true God send! I search for deals to sell in my store and can find items now all over the US in one search! Thank you again and keep up the good work! Now to memorize the new name...LOL.

• thank you

  Hey Nathan
  I love your website!! Its a great way to look for anything on craigslist. In fact being a recent grad, I had a tough time looking for jobs. However while trawling through craigslist on searchtempest, i landed an internship in faraway california (i am from florida) and which is getting converted to full time in a month. I recommend your site to all my friends too. Keep up the great work.
  Cheers!

• Thank you, I LOVE SearchTempest

  I just wanted to say thanks for your work.

  I use to spend a lot of time changing cities on the regular Craigslist web page to search areas near me. I LOVE your work and have told many friends about it and posted it in some of the motorcycle and tractor furums that I visit when people are looking for a good tool.

  So, Thanks. Nice work!

Oooookay then

Obviously I prefer to get the great emails from people who've saved tons of time and money using my site. That said, if there's value in the "Ooookay then" letters, it's that we can laugh at them now. :)

• Cheers. NOT. definitely NOT

  You do NOT exclude. OK. Won't use your (pretend) site

  I really have no idea what this one meant. I wrote back to ask, but never heard from him/her/it again...

• i have been useing craigslist to look for job now now for some reason i can not opne any thind on craigslist please call me at xxx-xxx-xxxx [firstname] [lastname] thank you

  Honestly, this one wasn't bad, it was just.. well, you see it. All in the subject line too - no body. I didn't call...

• Feedback

  Searching Craiglist with your website is infuriatingly slow and complicated.

  But then you already know this but won't change things because you are an egotistical, sadistic, subhuman computer GEEK!

  Egotistical computer geek, sure... but the rest? :)

• What a mess

  Your new Search Tempest is JUNK what a mess you have created and be for you think I am the only one who feels this way about the new alledged naviagtion your dead wrong. The site is a mess who ever redesigned it should get a real job. You have ruiened a perfectly good and prevously great site.

  See... rudeness is one thing. Even terrible spelling and grammar I can get past if you have a point. But when you essentially write "I HATEZ EVERYTHING", I just can't take what you say seriously. If you wrote "The new site is a terrible mess because ______", it might have some effect. But alas, in this case I have to assume "your" basically mentally unstable, and discount everything you say.

Anyway, like I said, 99% of the emails I get are great. I used basically every funny/bad one I could find, and barely scratched the surface of the good ones! A decent number of people even send donations, which is just unbelievable to me. So thank you all. It's letters like these that make this worthwhile.
