Agreed, Eva, the connection is the most important part. The conversation area is nice but the connection is the real deal - thanks for reminding. :)

Just passing to say its always lovely to tweet you & yes tweeters rarely have time/make effort to comment ; )
As long as they connect somewhere in the ethereal pathways isnt that all that matters?
Have a great day, Danny. ... See all content Hide content

I wonder if it'd be an idea to have a book reading-type convo about a blog post on Twitter? Use a hashtag to separate the chat, and then discuss the points raised in the post? Of course, this would still have discussion taking place away from the post itself (unless you could drop in the chat results using a plugin), but may keep it less fractured? ...

Blogs provide a valuable platform for others to engage in the conversation and follow it easily without jumping between Twitter profiles or chasing a hashtag. Twitter is definitely the hottest cocktail party in town, but the blog is the foundation from which a strong social media program is built. ... See all content Hide content

Danny -
I definitely think Twitter is killing blog comments. While I certainly see a fair amount of retweets to our blog posts, I've seen an absolute decline in comments over the past months. Those people I've asked have said it is just easier to ReTweet than it is to put an ounce of effort in some thoughtful comments. While there are certainly people still commenting, I think that people seem to find it easier to share a post, rather than to comment. ... See all content Hide content

I wonder if the Facebook API would let it cross-connect though, Valerie. Like you say, obviously it's a closed system compared to Twitter, but say you synced the Facebook Connect option on your account. Then, anytime you comment on a blog, you can have it crossed over to your Facebook wall or notes, and continue the conversation that way? ... See all content Hide content

Love the idea of a system that aggregates content! Brilliant! Though it probably could only work with open forums (Twitter, public forums on LinkedIn, etc) rather than private forums like Facebook. I've been on a bit of a vacation the last few days, visiting some of my favorite websites via guest post. And I've been reflecting on this post more and more. The posts have prompted some great feedback and conversations on Facebook, within LinkedIn groups and on Twitter, but the fragmented conversation is frustrating and leaves me feeling as the complete story was never told... ...

Yea, big things are happening in that world so it's going to be cool to see what happens over the next year or so. Maybe Facebook will open up some more and we'll start seeing 'reactions' from that space.

Why Would You Bother to Comment? http://ow.ly/npCK <- Well worth reading (follow up to Is Twitter Killing Blog Comments? http://ow.ly/npDk)

Disqus is definitely going the right way as far as integrating social comments as well as traditional ones, especially now they have the BackType guys onboard. Interesting that Adam mentions js-kit and Chat Catcher; two options I've tried before here, neither which worked well (for me, personally, not to say they're not right for someone else).
js-kit are trying with their new Echo system, but again that seems a lot of noise for no reason. The Smashing Magazine is a good example, with the tabbing option. Here's to the first truly interconnected comments system that makes a sense of everything. ... See all content Hide content

Twitter is easy. Commenting takes time. DISQUS is helping to tie it all together.
My personal take is that i try to comment on blogs i follow regularly as much as i can. i don't always do a good job of it, but i try. i know bloggers want comments and that taking the time to connect with them on their blog mean a lot. it's important to do.
On the Twitter note ... it drives traffic like no other so if i really enjoy something i'm going to Tweet and Comment - that's the right thing to do. It takes time, but that's the way you can bring the most benefit to the blogger. Hands down.
