This isn't actually about any specific issue at the moment, but one ongoing thing is that often people perceive my failure to comment on issue X as some sort of...well, I don't know, as meaningful in some way. Sometimes I just don't really have anything to say.
Atrios at Eschaton.
Ah yes. Me, too, but I'd add that sometimes I have something to say, but I don't have time to address the issue.
And Atrios' blog has held on to its vast numbers of comments in the face of Facebook. Why his comments ARE a virtual Facebook! Check them out. How does he do it?
Are bloggers fetishing #s of comments, hits?

Are bloggers doing this w/ their readers as well? O_o
JCF, I try very hard not to pay attention to numbers, but I do like comments, because I like the conversations.
ReplyDeleteI also try to respond to every comment. I don't succeed in the endeavor, but I do make the effort.
And we comment to keep you busy and off the streets (lest you halt traffic with a walker).

Paul, one day, I will halt traffic with my walker, on purpose, although it seems somewhat of a risky game, considering the numbers of drivers on the road with advanced cases of road rage.
