  July 16, 2008 at 18:38 pchaney says I don't think I'd jump on with a comment saying "Gosh, thanks." Way too obivious. I would email Josh though saying thks
• 
  July 16, 2008 at 18:38 NeerajKA says Since its positive, I would probably post the link on my microblog so people would read it.
• 
  July 16, 2008 at 18:39 pchaney says If I had a Coolpix blog, or even camera blog (and maybe Nikon does), I'd sure reference it in a post of my own.
• 
  July 16, 2008 at 18:41 tamar definitely would thank them. maybe add a section on nikon.com to showcase user testimonials with a blockquote and a link back!
• 
  July 16, 2008 at 18:41 swoodruff says maybe ask Josh if he'd like to be part of Flickr group - Cool CoolPixers. Upload your best Nikon shots.
• 
  July 16, 2008 at 18:42 acnatta says yeah, I'd use it as a reference in a post about camera options, possibly digg the article and link to it off of our blog or from tweet
• 
  July 16, 2008 at 18:43 tamar acnatta - digg would be cool but this is a bit too specific and won't perform well on digg. if your goal here is just for user appreciation
• 
  July 16, 2008 at 18:44 tamar then digg isn't the way to do it, sadly. a comment expressing thanks is probably the most viable method for that.
• 
  July 16, 2008 at 18:44 JaneChin others have listed great ideas; if I were Nikon I'd definitely do SOMETHING, at least acknowledge the post.
• 
  July 16, 2008 at 18:45 tamar right. responding shows that you're listening and gives the customer more trust/faith in your brand. so something should definitely be done.
• 
  July 16, 2008 at 18:46 tamar on the other hand, if nothing was done, there's no harm here, but responding shows new readers that nikon is receptive to feedback
• 
  July 16, 2008 at 18:47 acnatta asks wouldn't you want them to coment on the blog itself then tamar?
• 
  July 16, 2008 at 18:47 tamar and that would make new buyers excited that nikon is listening to the "small people"
• 
  July 16, 2008 at 18:48 tamar acnatta, that's exactly what i suggested in this plurk thread. digg is definitely not the right medium for it though.
• 
  July 16, 2008 at 18:49 acnatta yeah, I saw that comment...
• 
  July 16, 2008 at 18:50 acnatta maybe something that was focused at photographers, pros and amateurs
• 
  July 16, 2008 at 18:50 tamar ok, wasn't sure my 2 big points are that it's good to comment and it's good to link out from an official nikon site. empowerment!
• 
  July 16, 2008 at 18:50 acnatta having gone to an art school and knowing how many folks shoot for fun and profession, a topical site would be a great place to point out pts
• 
  July 16, 2008 at 18:50 NeerajKA says If you have written or know about any other positive reviews, link to them in a supportive comment.
• 
  July 16, 2008 at 18:51 acnatta yeah, you'd want to strengthen the brand with as many positive reviews as possible
• 
  July 16, 2008 at 18:51 acnatta agreed tamar
• 
  July 16, 2008 at 19:06 johnrhopkins says I would thank him via email, post a message in the comments and consider offering him some perks when he wants to upgrade down the road
• 
  July 16, 2008 at 19:07 johnrhopkins says sort of like this twurl.cc/2st
• 
  July 16, 2008 at 19:08 BigBadBunny sometimes a simple acknowledgement makes the strongest statement.
• 
  July 16, 2008 at 19:13 Herb says now the real question, is the brand manager (or *someone* at Nikon) searching for these types of things so the *can* do something?
• 
  July 16, 2008 at 19:17 acnatta that would be the big question, wouldn't it Herb?
• 
  July 16, 2008 at 19:18 MackCollier says Great and amazing ideas guys, keep em coming!
• 
  July 17, 2008 at 01:58 tamar p.s. i like nikon
• 
  July 17, 2008 at 02:34 johnrhopkins says I do too, I have several
• 
  July 17, 2008 at 02:34 johnrhopkins says I was a photographer in a previous life
• 
  July 17, 2008 at 18:31 tamar so was i! i have a few DSLRs that i used to spend a lot more time with, but i got involved with this industry and haven't turned back!
• 
  July 17, 2008 at 18:32 tamar p.p.s. hi search engine guide readers!!!!
• 
  September 18, 2008 at 20:47 storyspinner if i were nikon i'd be linking to this review from the product's page (asking permission from josh of course).
• 
  September 18, 2008 at 20:51 storyspinner I'd also write up something in the nikon blog - perhaps including other posts too, then ask for audience feedback, etc.
