I signed up back in the first weeks after PM was announced, signed my forms and so on, but I'm totally confused about PM right now. I got an email two (?) weeks ago saying that more information would be sent in the next few days. So far, nothing. Not a big deal, but I'm in the dark :) So what else is new?

As far as I can tell right now, with an investor came a change of plan that excludes the original long tail advertising consortium concept, keeping it more compact, applied to a set of presumably more appealing, marketable, lucrative, and manageable larger blogs.
While I am dismayed there has been nothing, not even something saying "sorry, we changed our plans and have no place for you, at least for now," I can certainly understand that plans change when business reality or inflexible investment hits.
I'd probably have taken a reasonable offer, as we're not affected by existing ad commitments, but given how it's gone down, I might not accept it even if something comes through after all.
Good for you, though, if it works for you.
