Kevin, thanks for your feedback. I’m definitely still getting used to coComment. I’ve found co.mment easier to use, but of course it doesn’t have the social networking aspects.

I like the list of “commenting behavior types” and your reflective stance. Providing some examples was a good idea.
I am still on the fence about co-comment, and your write-up was helpful for me.

Thanks
Kevin Hodgson

Kim, thanks for coming by my blog. I’ve realized through this challenge that though I have been replying to comments on my blog I often don’t check out the blog of the person who left the comment. I aim to change that behaviour, because I know I’m missing out on some good stuff!

Thanks for joining the Challenge Claire!

One of your points really resonates with me:

“I comment when I know that my comment will be responded to–that I will be part of a conversation.”

I am so guilty of not replying to comments on my blog. I know it’s terrible, but sometimes I would so much rather comment on other people’s blogs than my own, which tends to mean that I put the “conversation” aspect of my own blog on the back burner in favor of being part of the conversation on other people’s blogs. Which I’m also completely terrible at, so it’s really more like a loose-loose scenario for me

Thanks for the reminder to keep the conversation going in my “house” as well!

Hello Sue, Michele and Sarah! Feels like a bit of a love in, eh?! Thanks for your comments and I look forward to the rest of the challenge.

Sarah, it is interesting that in certain respects we seem to be on the same trajectory when it comes to using web 2.0 tools.

Hi Sue and Claire, Thank you both for your kind comments about my blog.

I love the way you have answered the first challenge, Claire. It is really reflective and informative. Its funny that you and I have much the same opinions and experiences of commenting and blogging. Anyway, enjoy the rest of the challenge. Sarah

Claire, I’m echoing Sue’s comments–thanks for this great analysis of your commenting behavior. Thanks, also for the nice comments about The Bamboo Project.

I personally have found you to be a great, thoughtful commenter, one of the things that I appreciate about you as a blogger. Even if you only leave a few comments a week, they’re quality!
