About Blog Comments Post #3

  • Why people commenting?
  • How to comment on people's blog?
  • What kind of blog/ blog post wins people's comments"?
  • Here you go...my little thought about this topic:

    Here are some blogs I observed:
  • Wang Jianshuo’s Blog:
    http://home.wangjianshuo.com/
    I regularly comment on his site, just because his information & insight: http://user.wangjianshuo.com/artemis.htm
    Thought those comments were made long time ago; this is the first time I start thinking about the reason of making comments.
    Some comments are from his friends, some are from the ransom guest like me.
    I was searching Google about the shanghai’s building in Xintiandi area, and one of his blog posts helped me. So I just commented for appreciating the information he offered generously on the blog. The link is http://home.wangjianshuo.com/archives/20060514_how_xintiandi_was_built.htm

  • Face book – K.M.'s blog:

    I hope you can read even you are not in her friend list.
    She is a new Christian and it’s really exciting and encouraging to see her growth in Christ.
    Appreciate her gift in writing, and really amazed by reading her articles.
    If she publishes a book someday, I probably will ask all of my friends buy ~
    I almost comments on all her notes, since we are good buddies.
  • http://blog.sina.com.cn/u/1191258123
    This blog has 11694000 visiting counts.
    It’s by Han Han, the post modern writer. I was a fan of him back to high school.
    Just liked his cynic style of writing and shared the same hatred to the power and felt the same sympathy towards the weakness, with his pen, he is like a fighter.
    It might be the only blog right now I am reading in Chinese
    The comments are most from his fans, readers or even hostiles (his writing did offended many people).

    So, what is the purpose of commenting on blog? I generalize these 5 points and there should be a lot of reasons. Only thing we need to remember is: keep a light mood when you read other people's writing. we don't have to agree to anyone, but it's a good way to learn, to explore and to experience this amazing world on web.

  1. Friendship’s extension from the real world.
    Like most of my post on Kacie’s blog, it’s an extension of our real world friendship. Sometimes, when people writing, they changed their personality. Kacie is this kind and from reading her blog, you can’t image it’s written by a big smiling little girl!
  2. Appreciate the information the blog offers.
    Like the one I commented in Wang Jianshuo’s blog. I did this a lot, for the encouraging comments will motivate writers and helps with the environment of the whole network.
  3. Share some ideas you have
    It might be something you don’t agree with the blog post, or something you want to add on the same topic the blog post is issuing on.
  4. Marketing
    There are a lot of Ads in blog comments. Sometimes it’s really annoying. I got some in my blog on MSN and normally, I will just delete those unpleasant comments. But not all marketing comments are bad. If you leave your comments on A’s blog, A might visit you back and comment on you as well. Then you will build a network with some strangers, in a nice way.
  5. Venting
    There are some people doing that, it might be some psychological reason for health enhancement, but I can’t understand this behavior. It happens more often on Forum.
