Thanks to the awesome John Smulo tomorrow – December 3 – is Blog Comment Day. I know that I don’t often do a great job at commenting on blogs (or even responding here), but part of what I love about blogging are the conversations it creates. So I’m all for a push to get us all to comment more.
Here’s the official scoop from John –
People blog for all kinds of different reasons. Some blog to get their thoughts out in a public diary; others blog to share their expertise with others; many more blog for a dozen other reasons.I blog for the interaction, learning, and friendship that comes from putting my heart and mind out in public and the privilege of people responding through comments.
Though there may be 100 reasons why people blog, I’ve yet to meet a blogger who doesn’t appreciate comments. For this reason I’m starting Blog Comment Day on December 3, 2008. Here’s how it works:
- On December 3, 2008 you will leave one comment on at least 5 different blogs.
- Out of the 5 blogs you comment on, at least 2 of them will be blogs you haven’t commented on previously.
That’s it. Simple, right?
And he’d appreciate it if you’d let him know if you’re participating by leaving a comment in this post.
And while we are all sharing the love, it would be fun to post some of links to the blogs where we have commented to encourage further conversation. Anyway – happy commenting, I’m looking forward to the conversations!
