DR1665.com: Comments Mean Conversation

  • Valeria Maltoni · 11 months ago
    Thank you for the shout, you are very kind. The exchange that occurs with comments is the most valuable part of social media. Love the phrase up top there - flexibility and adaptation are winners.
  • DR1665 · 11 months ago
    Absolutely. My little phrase up there comes from this site being predominately a car project log for the last few years and my changing gears just when it seemed to be picking up. I appreciate your comment and look forward to following you on Twitter as well!

    Comments mean conversation. Allow myself to introduce myself. I'm Brad. Came across you on twitter and found the blog interesting.

    Thanks Brad! I sure hope I can keep things interesting as time goes by. I think I've heard of ilist.com before. Twitter, maybe?

    Speaking of comments - whatever happened to bonus points for things? You should have given bonus points to anyone who adds a meaningful comment to this post. :) Of course, I'm the only one who has them, so I guess I shouldn't be pushing for them...but I would still like to see another opportunity come up. As an aside - I've found myself adding comments as other people from their emails occasionally, both because I like to see the comments, but also because I want anyone who reads to see what other people have said - especially when it is something nice or I know they aren't sure how to leave a comment in the first place. I almost couldn't find where to leave a comment in your new format here, btw. :)

    Christine! You know you're the current leader in "Cool Points." I was *this close* to offering them up again since then, but I opted not to. Rest assured! There will be more Cool Points in the future. Heck. I'll give you another one for bringing it up and reminding me! How 'bout them apples?

    Are you saying you post comments anonymously, using someone else's email address? Oh! Wait a minute! You're taking comments you receive directly via email and converting them into comments on posts. That's a pretty cool idea, imo. The comments are valid to the subject, and it helps encourage further discussion.

    Hope you get the hang of Disqus handling my comments here. I like the way it aggregates all the comments for me. It's fully integrated with WordPress and FriendFeed. I'm hoping to get a handle on my social media before it ramps up and spirals out of control on me. :)

    Thanks for the comment. Keep V and I posted when the rally car might be arriving in our driveway next month.
