This new site has survived its first full week and so it’s time for a few remarks.

First, a warm thank you to several bloggers who were gracious enough to talk us up and, of course, link to us. These include Agnes Shanley at OnPharma, David at The Shark Report, Peter Rost, John Mack at Pharma Marketing, the infamous Insider at Pharma Gossip, Aaron Barkoff at OrangeBook, Bob Goldberg at DrugWonks and KevinPho at KevinMD. Am I forgetting anyone? Hope not. If so, please write. Warm thanks also go out to our many FOEs, or Friends of Ed, who passed this around and provided feedback. You know who you are.

Second, apologies are offered for any technical glitches that may have delayed or derailed e-mail alerts or any posts to the site. Like your cable tv provider, we’re working on it.

Third, thanks to the readers or viewers (do you have a preference as to what you’re called?) who posted comments. And sorry if it took awhile to respond. This site is a busy proposition, but we’re getting the drift now and hope to reply more quickly going forward.

And last, Pharma Marketing wants to survey reaction to the fast-growing number of blogs about the pharmaceutical industry. It’s a bit early back here, but it sounds like fun, just the same. So here’s a link to read about the survey, and here’s another link that takes you to the survey. He’s offering free stuff (sorry, no pills).
