I see bloggers that allow “NO Comments” as afraid. They are mostly afraid that there will NEVER be any comments, which would make them appear **insignificant** or even
“blogging alone” like the parody song to Green Day’s, “I Walk Alone”. Some blogs are never seen other than by the blogger!

Jeff, your previous post about participating in Web 2.0 and the accompanying diagram provide some meaningful ideas.

As Gary Hayes said, “… that participation in society, politics, online social networks etc: is not either on or off it is a continuum of degrees of influence.”

Many more people fall on the continuum of consumer as opposed to commenter.

Having not have grown up with the ability to comment instantly on what we read, view, or hear, we are simply not used to doing it. In school, we never got to comment on or share what other student wrote or created. We simply created and that was it. Hand your work in, the teacher will make comments, not you.

Maybe we are just selfish. A comment signifies you have more insight than I. Your ideas are somehow more worthy than mine. Why should I help you?

Maybe we are just lazy!

I agree….I think historians will be able to search for the information they want within the niche and get what they are looking for in digital form. We’ve just changed the medium we use to publish. In 10 years time I can see finding more research on any educational subject via blogs and the network then I can in print. There is just so much good stuff out there.

Well maybe I should rephrase that – if you use tags on Edublogs (which uses WordPress) it picks up the tags in Technorati. So based on that it should pick up WordPress.

Thanks for the good information. I especially appreciate the advice you give to “find your niche, find your purpose”.
Is it possible, I wonder, that our future historians will be poring over countless blogs for their historical fodder? I often think of that whenever I hear about the demise of letterwriting in our society. It’s all there, it just in a different format!
