I received a note from Rich over at eHow explaining what’s happening over there and what he is trying to do about it.

Now, as I’ve said before I totally agree with the cleanup, there’s some real garbage on there that does absolutely no good to anyone and it really needs to be deleted.  In addition, there’s some bad apples trying to publish there that also need to read the TOS and either put out quality, useful content, or get lost.

In a nutshell he said that he is making every effort to explain to their team that their current system of article deletions is alienating their writing community and we’re not happy with it.  They’re looking to implement a new system that is a lot more ‘user friendly’

To be honest I’m really flattered that he took the time to stop by and comment on how we feel about the current happenings at our favorite article site.  It’s nice that our voice is being heard and considered.

Even better, once this cleanup is completed the future of eHow, and us, the writers there should be better (and more profitable) than ever!

The fact that he stopped by and commented shows a lot about his integrity and goes a long way to easing my concerns.

My opinion is that all will be ok soon, maybe not in the next few weeks but soon enough and then we can get back to ‘work’ at a new, and better eHow.

Hang in there people, there’s a light at the end of the tunnel, I’m sure of it.
