I read the thing 7 resource 10 techniques to get more comments on your blog and I came across the interesting statistic and definition that "Jakob Nielsen’s latest study finds that 90% of online community users are lurkers (read or observe without contributing)". Are you all lurkers out there?
Part of my obligations related to completing thing 7 are to write about my experiences contributing to discussions on other blogs and having people comment on my blog. I can only provide feedback related to the former because my comments remain an unfortunate cyberspace wasteland, without any contributions.
I have also read that I should be humble, be gracious and make it easy to leave comments, be open ended and set boundaries, amongst other things. So here goes...
1. Invite comments - You are more than welcome to leave a comment on Sylvester's 23 antics blog. In fact it would be very much appreciated;
2. Ask questions - Could you please leave a comment on Sylvester's 23 antics blog?
3. Interact with comments left - Sylvester promises to respond to all comments in a polite, engaging and prompt fashion.
My experience contributing comments to posts on other blogs has been straight forward. Thinking of something witty, entertaining and worthwhile to type has been more challenging!
Thanking you in anticipation... Sylvester the cat whom aspires to be humble and gracious!
