Twitter is on fire talking about the new iPhone 3GS, so it’ll be interesting to see how much 3GS.com sells for this Thursday. Keep an eye on how much the site is going for here: http://greatdomains.com/auction/auction_detail.php?language=us&auction_id=57282&tracked=&partnerid=32392&language=us

Mmmmm….this is something that’s been plaguing me for a while.

I “personal” blogged at Live Journal for a while and I really liked their way of handling comments. You can reply to the poster or to another commenter and then you can see the hierarchical structure of the comment stream. They also email all comments to the poster and to the commenter if someone comments on a specific comment. Really easy to manage.

I then opened up a new “personal” blog on Wordpress because I felt it was more of a “professional” platform. Sadly they do not have the same nifty Live Journal feature.

And ever since I’ve been pondering on how to manage this more effectively.

I’ve also been getting around the blogging community more so now and noticing that there are very few platforms which have the nifty Live Journal functionality. And it’s really frustrating. I’m pretty sure I’m missing out on replies to my comments all over the place.

I, like one of your other commenters, LOVE the “email followup comments” option.

Anyways, thanks for this interesting and informative post!

Hi Jon,

I’m glad I got you to follow the link AND join the conversation! Your exactly right about adding and sharing knowledge. And another thing about people leaving comments on blogs is most of the time the blogger is curious about who leaves comments and will check out those links. I got work to do!

Kyle, followed the link from Hubspot. I agree, and this kinda proves what you’re saying. You’ve gotten another unique to your site and the opportunity to convert to a subscriber. Without that link at Hubspot, I’d perhaps never have ever heard of you.

Comments are great way to expand your knowledge. Joining a conversation with people who may know quite a bit more than yourself is my favorite way of learning. And if I can add anything at all to the knowledge of someone else, what more could I ask for?

“Setup a subscribe to comments option or an RSS feed of your comments definitely helps.”

Can you believe that after 3 years of blogging, I only added this option about a month ago?!

I know some bloggers don’t like it, but I nearly always add a link to a relevant article of mine — like I have here.

And I totally agree with you on the rule of commenting.

My feeling is that if you’re going to comment, actually say something that’s going to add to the value of the article you’re commenting on.

Speak soon, Kyle…

Yes, we need more gravatars…no one wants to look at only me and Kyle

I actually need to implement that on my own site. One more feature to add to the to-do list…

One additional thing I should point out is that the Picture that displays next to comments is pulled from Gravatar or was it MyBlogLog? Either way lots of blogs pull this in so it's something else to add.

So mark that up as one joining the conversation and one disjoining (is that a word?). I’m feeling torn about my roll as a blogger here. Just kidding. Paula I’m glad that you felt the need to comment!

@Tiffany – no problem, I’m hoping more blogs will add additional functionality to encourage the conversation.

@Paula – Thanks for agreeing with me. I appreciate your comment on this post because I know you in the non-webbed world, so it was cool to see that you’re following a blog that I also follow.

@KyleJames – Since I now know that Paula is following this blog I will no longer be able to comment here — at least not with my real name.
