I've been looking at how to measure communication. I like your metrics. I notice the same thing as Seduction - when I take a stance, it's either agreed with or disagreed with. Heh - Bueller, Bueller... you get the point. Yes I've felt like I was talking to the camera on more than one occasion! <em>Charles's last blog post..<a href='http://charlesjeter.com/2008/04/14/2008-corporate-learning-factbook-values-us-training-market-at-585b/' rel="nofollow">2008 Corporate Learning Factbook Values U.S. Training Market at $58.5B</a></em> Nice.

People are far too easily blinded by popularity! @Morgan - And your point would be exactly what I was talking about. It's all in the mindset! Right on :D (P.S. Now I have a craving to watch Wayne's World for some strange reason...) <em>Patricia Mayo's last blog post..<a href='http://comhacker.org/2008/04/ghostwriting_insidermake_money_online_information_product_lies/' rel="nofollow">The Ghostwriter's Betrayal: Lies of ?Make Money Online?</a></em> @Seduction - Now that’s somewhat contrary to what I’ve been trying… definitely given me something to think about! :D

Though, I usually try to posture my writing in a very conversational, fun, friendly way. I've always viewed how I'm writing on my blog rather like movies in the '80s when the characters would talk to the audience. That level of inclusion is fun, not just for the people who are writing, but also for those who are reading it. When Ferris Bueller was talking to us on his day off, he was talking directly to us! All of a sudden we were more vested in the movie and more interested in what happens -- that's exactly what I aim for on my posts. That interaction happens because it's ingrained, I don't try to force it on people. ;) Truth to tell, I’ve never really concerned myself too much with getting comments…I figure they’ll happen when they happen rather than me trying to get any.

If a blog has a high PR, the content can be so crappy (ie. John Chow's), people still comment in it. <em>Rudy's last blog post..<a href='http://www.amid.com/werd/tesla-roadster-the-reason-to-take-out-a-second-mortgage/' rel="nofollow">Tesla Roadster - THE reason to take out a second mortgage</a></em> Content and Design are the major reasons for getting people to comment, but I think Page Rank has a lot to do with it too.
