So don't you think it's just logical that other readers prefer to only say something when they have something to say as well? Good point about hesitating to comment as a not native English speaker. I am not one myself and this used to be one of my major concerns - until I realized that some bloggers actually prefer to receive a comment with a couple of linguistic defects than no comment at all. 2008-07-14T13:43:02.949+02:00 2008-07-14T13:43:02.949+02:00 http://www.cocomment.com/sidebar?object=people&context=explore&mode=detail&id=SvetlanaG&conv=1495382&comment_id=28679013 Svetlana Gladkova Chris, actually I'm not sure it's only the matter of time. I tend to think that I should only comment if I actually have something useful to add to conversation - simply typing "Great post, keep up the great work" does not seem like a good option and I don't think any blogger actually enjoys this type of comments. So I may well have time to leave a comment but I don't feel there's something actually useful to say - especially when I agree with the author (I think people almost invariably comment when they notice and error). But this is exactly when I choose to share the post on SU, FriendFeed, Facebook - it shows appreciation to the blogger and does not require thinking up something to say when you actually 100% agree. 2008-07-14T12:54:30.859+02:00 2008-07-14T12:54:30.859+02:00 http://www.cocomment.com/sidebar?object=people&context=explore&mode=detail&id=SvetlanaG&conv=1486849&comment_id=28523707 Svetlana Gladkova The funny thing is that all those games are for some reason rarely spoken about actually - this was the reason for this post, it's always surprising to see some real proof of how Digg is gamed by even the most popular blogs. And you know, in the first version the title of the post sounded like "will Kevin Rose have to shut it down?" but I changed my mind :) The only problem is I don't think anyone will want to go the natural way actually - it is definitely a harder one than just gaming a few sites for traffic. 2008-07-09T17:37:14.639+02:00 2008-07-09T17:37:14.639+02:00 http://www.cocomment.com/sidebar?object=people&context=explore&mode=detail&id=SvetlanaG&conv=1485787&comment_id=28511110 profy Definitely shared! No matter what huge traffic Digg can bring, it will almost never stay and, more importantly, everyone knows that Digg is constantly gamed. So when I see our post shared, I actually feel that someone really paid attention and wanted to add real visibility for the post. It will not result in the traffic spike, but it will add real value. 2008-07-09T13:07:33.360+02:00 2008-07-09T13:07:33.360+02:00 http://www.cocomment.com/sidebar?object=people&context=explore&mode=detail&id=SvetlanaG&conv=784359&comment_id=15252778 Svetlana Gladkova There are already a few services that allow users to create video channels and it looks like video is considered to be bigger because we definitely see a smaller number of radio broadcasting websites (this one as an example). But what I think could actually help them is let the users monetize their radio channels (via ads or paid subscriptions even). It could create a whole marketplace here and bring the young musicians to broadcast their music here. 2007-06-08T13:52:38.434+02:00 2007-06-08T13:52:38.434+02:00 http://www.cocomment.com/sidebar?object=people&context=explore&mode=detail&id=SvetlanaG&conv=716553&comment_id=14088884 Svetlana Gladkova Great tips, I am really happy I've found this post (on Netscape, by the way), it is useful. But anyway what I know for sure for some blogs success non del.icio.us can only mean changing their content totally which does not seem fair to me. At the same time the bookmarking sites that are based on user activities (StumbleUpon, del.icio.us) seem to be easier to get extra traffic to some of your posts from time to time. 2007-05-16T15:55:15.975+02:00 2007-05-16T15:55:15.975+02:00
