Blogging II

In the same context of this post that I wrote some days ago, found this one from Cameron Hunt, which describe with a good analogy why blogs not always conversations.

Is a conversation the best metaphor to describe a weblog with comments? In my opinion, a better comparison would be a presentation. A few hundred attendees come to a specific area to hear what you have to say. And commenting would be like allowing each audience member who desires to take the podium and say whatever they want anonymously. In context of your presentation, on the same stage, with your last slide still glowing behind them.

Couldn’t agree more. Comments are great, but optional.
