I created my bloglines, began adding lots of cool sites and read regularly, skimming but never leaving anything behind. I had a few buddies where I was comfortable to comment after I got my first few.(I remember Kate).<br>But it\'s only been more recent , once I became a part of communities that I feel free to share something and with this challenge I think my comments are getting more thoughtful and longer.<br>Also, I did see Kevin H. experimenting with Seesmic and I joined on right away, so that\'s on my list of new experiments. I do notice that with Kevin\'s Weekly Boil Down Your Week...the most popular prompts are the simple: 6 words...got a ton of responses.<br>Okay, that\'s enough from me.<br>Bonnie<br>Thanks for the conversation, Kate." );
