Legit Technorati? | Bloggers Lair | Yakezie Forums

Anyone thing the below is legit?  They ask for a TON of our metrics (monthly views, uniques, facebook URL, # likes, twitter name, # followers and more

But the only mandatory fields are first/last name, blog title, blog URL, email (which they have).

Thoughts?

Hi Sustainable,

Technorati Media is running a philanthropic campaign for a worldwide
automobile manufacturer and would like to invite you and your blog,
Sustainable Personal Finance, to potentially participate in a Paid Post for
the campaign.

The campaign's objective is to promote awareness and voting in a
contest that will ultimately award 100 non-profit organizations with a
new car enabling them to increase their ability to do good in their
local community. You'll be asked to write about your favorite
non-profit, reference and link to the contest, and promote your post
through your social media networks.

This is a great opportunity to spread goodwill and get paid for it!

The first step is to "opt in" by submitting the form at the link
below by Wednesday, May 4, at 5:00pm PST.

We will then submit your blog information to the client for review
and consideration for the campaign. If selected, we will contact you,
gauge your interest and share more about compensation, the campaign
and deliverables.

We also have additional, upcoming campaigns and will consider you for
those as well.

Thanks for your participation!

I got the same email, and it looked legit to me.

Contacted Technorati – it's legit.

They are trying to build blog networks w/ the non A listers.

I found an email contact @ Technorati a high level editor.  Fired him an email after making this post.  Within 10 mins he responded but didn't have the answer.  He CC'd the appropriate person and within 20 mins or so it was confirmed to be legit.  Pretty cool IMO. 

Scott Lyon is part of the Technorati Twitter team. 

Personally, I think it could be another opportunity to recover some of our costs.  We'll see how they evaluate us.

I got this as well and responded. Thanks for checking it out for us!

SPF,

I want advertisers to phish! If you have some advertisers that want to contact me please do it! lol

I received the same email. It looks real.

Hi all.  I know for a fact that this is legitimate.  I can not say how, but I can 100% vouch for the legitimacy of this campaign.  I was hoping that many of you would take advantage.  You will be happy later.  :)

Thanks for the input Sandy. Now I'm really looking forward to hearing a response!
