Sorry about that but am in Melbourne at a conference. Joel You are correct! Blog comments sections aren't well structured to manage conversations. Some people do try to make them work more like forums but I personally find that it puts me off. And it is incredibly hard to have group conversations -- it does happen but is normally the exception not the rule. I am also like you -- if there is excessive comments it can be overwhelming to read. And in terms of following the conversations I am more likely to if I am trying to clarify who said what is there is a debate going on. Graham Thanks for the link I will check it out thoroughly when I get back to Perth. Was nice meeting you yesterday. As promised Joel and Graham I am back! Sorry about that but am in Melbourne at a conference.

Marguerite Was no problem dropping past your blog. If Cammie Bean had not set me straight on how to use co-mment I would not have known. So when I saw your comment I decided to drop past your blog to help out. Definitely having a lively blog takes work but it is worth it and fortunately I have lots of great topics I can talk about. Ann Sorry to say they talked loudly enough to wake me but not enough to hear what they were actually saying. Glad you liked my tips and look forward to hearing good news on the Google Reader front! Hopefully the mlearn2007 twitter account will get exciting when it gets started.... and agreed the diagram is very similar to many in the past. Sarah Thanks for pointing out the aspect of blogging etiquette. Often you are in a place where you forget that you assume too much of your readers. I am still myself working out etiquette. Ideally I should respond to a couple of comments at a time the trouble was in this case they all came through at the same time and I was out touring Melbourne so had no access to comment back. Well for me I am so used to engaging in commenting that I don't see it as time consuming I just see it as part of if I want to make connections then I need to make the effort. Co-mment comes into my Google Reader so it is really quick to click on the link and add more information to the comment. Benefits are the connections you make with people. Others know that I value conversations and willingly help--this means they willingly help me.. I have lots of people I network with around the World that help me out as a result and I return the favour. Kate I expect you to write a post on why co-mment is so good. I hope you find it useful like I did -- and thank Cammy--she rocks! Sean Good question..and I should have included that when we write posts we need to use questions that invoke people to want to respond. And good point as to why we ask questions. I definitely don't wish to be seen as an expert --rather a human that is happy to help out but does not always have all the information. Joel and Graham -- apologies I am being told I have to go to dinner -- we are meeting people... I will post my comment back when I get back -- even if it is really late. Please forgive me --running really late! Now I am determined to get my tick back so decided that whenever possible I need to respond on the same day!
