With my blog, I find that people TELL me about the post, or even email me rather than comment.

I admit I do the 'like' button thing on FB often but I also will drop a comment. Buttons are quick. Actually the FB and G+ services were the biggest hits to blogs I believe. I like both services but see blogs as a more involved conversation tool.<br />thankslislemanhttp://afcsoac.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29376160.post-87969053202190077192011-11-18T11:08:12.290-06:002011-11-18T11:08:12.290-06:00Good point I didn't think of that.

I don't have a tablet either (Santa could be nice and drop one off) but I suspect that might also have a similar problem.

I know I've mentioned this before, but I often use the Google Reader app on my phone. Makes it easy to read blogs, but not so easy to comment on them. I usually intend to come back later and post a (hopefully witty and/or insightful) comment, but then life gets in the way and I get sidetracked and forget.Jenehttp://theoriginalbean.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29376160.post-67543152840581303982011-11-16T09:37:05.121-06:002011-11-16T09:37:05.121-06:00We see the same sort of thing on Madhatters.

A lot of our regular commentators who got to know each other through leaving comments on our site have since left us and now interact with each other on Facebook instead. <br /><br />Others submit comments every day for weeks or months and then just suddenly disappear with no explanation. <br /><br />A trend I've noticed on our site is that we are getting fewer comments but more people clicking the 'like' button on a post. It's not as good as a comment but at least it's a sign that people like what we are putting upduncanrhttp://madhatters.me.uk/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29376160.post-44554609906922052792011-11-16T08:40:24.402-06:002011-11-16T08:40:24.402-06:00You know, if you are waiting for me to sing this s...You know, if you are waiting for me to sing this song to you before you throw me a comment then you'll be waiting a long time.

The timing of your post probably is a big factor in how popular it appears.

Yes the funny ones are a favorite but I remember many of yours were very thoughtful which is more than I can ask for. Of course, I have written a few posts that were not funny and a witty comment would not be right. So don't struggle and not leave one. A simple liked it is very welcomed and I do appreciate you sharing your time with me. thankslislemanhttp://afcsoac.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29376160.post-75846001594652462902011-11-16T06:13:19.316-06:002011-11-16T06:13:19.316-06:00You made me feel that my comments were all boring ...You made me feel that my comments were all boring and dull :( I struggle to comment sometimes (but never at your site).

Ok having real face-to-face in the same physical space that is much better (most of the time depending what I ate for lunch). I was digging around some old posts for what I don't remember now and re-read that witty comment that played into the whole post. Those great comments still come in at times. But the longer you blog the more likely you will find favorite followers/bloggers just dropping out. Change is constant and blogging is no different.<br />thanks - two comments - I owe you.lislemanhttp://afcsoac.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29376160.post-80977062323929590592011-11-15T18:24:32.331-06:002011-11-15T18:24:32.331-06:00I do wish you good health and I hate it went I blo...I do wish you good health and I hate it went I blow snot on the screen.lislemanhttp://afcsoac.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29376160.post-76470697925788216072011-11-15T17:53:25.624-06:002011-11-15T17:53:25.624-06:00I think this would make a good post.
