In my opinion, a successful blog is a dialog between more than two people. To date, there are 1,697 posts and 12,159 comments, so a conversation rate (comments divided by posts) of just over 7.  Sure, not as impressive as some other sites, but it&#8217;s the quality of comments that matter.<\/p>\n<p>This actually came up in discussion yesterday on a client call, where he pointed out that the comments you&#8217;ve left were insightful and thoughtful, I readily agreed.  Sure, other blogs may have quantity lightweight comments, but here, they are often filled with details, opinions, and insight.<\/p>\n<p>We&#8217;ve done research on technographics (how people use social computing tools) and for North American adults, the inactives far often outweigh those who leave comments.  I read every single comment that comes through, and I end up learning a lot (not everyone agrees), in some cases, I&#8217;ll sometimes update the post and add links or point to your insight.

I certainly appreciate you adding links that add to the conversation, keep on doing that when there&#8217;s something to see.  <\/p>\n<p>In the near future, I plan to run that survey to find out more about the readers and commenters here, stay tuned for that.<\/p>\n<p>So again, thanks for adding to the conversation.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I learn a lot from you, thanks for commenting.
