Different point of view from that post. Interesting to say the least.

I'm just now really getting my feet wet with disqus. I am really loving the way it integrates with twitter and the other web 2.0 social platforms. ;)

Being fairly new to the social media scene, I have the privilege of playing around and my readers are coming from all over. But i find more conversations going on in Friendfeed than on my blog. I posted "Can friendfeed kill off a blog" to and I'm glad i found ur post an answer to my qn.

Re shorter posts- you could well be right…..but it sort of breaks the flow of the story somehow, when I wanted to tell a story in several chapters. Maybe there should have been more chapters, perhaps?

I don't think they are “dead”. Still many people have not heard of friendfeed. I still don't get enough comments even though I switched to disqus. Maybe I should finally switch to wordpress instead of blogger.

The long format could be a turn off to some when we're being reprogrammed to skim everything these days. Do you think posting shorter posts would help?

I rarely if ever, receive blog comments. I used to think that folk werent reading my blog (perhaps they are'nt!) but my Twitter followers are increasing steadily as are my contacts on mybloglog even if my subscribers are few, so someone must read/like me somewhere..lol
It must also be said that having posted several related and rather lengthy blog posts concerning my dissertation, I am now taking a bit of a break before starting a newish topic (elearning and social media in education) which is the career direction I am hoping to follow in the autumn, so hopefully that subject will attract some new interest.

[...] Blog Comments Aren’t Dead, But Your Activities May Be Keeping Them Away [nw] :: SheGeeks – Corvida has a rather interesting viewpoint as to why blog comments may appear to be going elsewhere. [...]

Staying logged into Disqus is definitely a time saver. Sometimes I go to other sites and I look at the comments box and think “Why am I not logged into Disqus?”. Really they weren't using Disqus, but I'm so used to not having to type such things in now just to leave a comment. Disqus has spoiled me.

I don't blame you. Any blog that requires me to basically register before commenting isn't likely to receive my comment and I usually move on too.
