11.8.06 A thousand comments and still going
As a social experiment, it certainly has a sufficient sample: Randy Thomas’s ‘Longest Comment Thread Ever’ crossed the 1,000 mark last week, as yours truly entered the 1,000th comment. I blogged about this thread earlier, and, separately, why we rally around certain blogs for the commenting.
It shows that people are willing to engage in conversation, free from the constraints of topic. There have been a few larger gaps in time now, as people surf to Randy’s newer posts, but it remains a fascinating Web 2·0 experiment (now on its second page), especially as it draws new people in to the fold.

NoteEntries from 2006 to the end of 2009 were done on the Blogger service. As of January 1, 2010, this blog has shifted to a Wordpress installation, with the latest posts here.With Blogger ceasing to support FTP publishing on May 1, I have decided to turn these older pages in to an archive, so you will no longer be able to enter comments. However, you can comment on entries posted after January 1, 2010. Quick linksAdd feedsIndividual JY&A and Medinge Group blogs+ Previous posts |
