It really makes for a lot of useless NOISE. “I wonder how many people just reweet the link in the hope to gain exposure for themselves.” -Phill

But...I decided to comment as well. ;) In this fast-paced and immediate world of social media, it is inevitable that time will be divided. People can't be active on Twitter, Facebook, Digg, AND other blogs PLUS produce their own content so they tend to "pick-and-choose" their favorite mode for transmitting and receiving information. Hence, the "fewer comments" phenomenon. I have definitely noticed that on my blog, by the way...which, I admit, makes me a bit sad. Just retweeted.

Paul- You are probably right about it depends upon the blogger, over the years much of my interaction happens on twitter. Phillip- I prefer subscribers over commenters, but I really like em' all LOL Travis- thx Brockley- thx for your perspective Gloria- Well said and thx for the kind words... keep writing, everyone is a big dog in blogging because of twitter right! Marc- Well said... you just need to start blogging! SamRag- Mashable is the most used word in the English Language in 2009... Mashable got serious game!

What we need is more of what Mashable does, where they include the tweeting below their comments. I would like it in a more concise manner though - as scrolling through most of the short tweets is pointless.

It's also how you sell it, some people flat out do a dry sell on twitter and that turns me off, say something interesting, use your personality, you bog don't you? Intrigue me..then I'm in.

Because of my (personal) schedule and timing, I actually do subscribe to the RSS of blogs that interest me and I try my best to leave a comment....Not to pat anyone's ego, but for them to know that their being used, people are appreciating their content and being helped by it. As for me and my blodge (a.k.a. blog), I'm still working on trying to get interesting enough...LOL. I just can't "hang" w/the big "dogs"...... Thank YOU for always bloging, being consistent and bringing good content. Twitter has definitely had an effect on a whole lot more than blogging.

I'm a hyperlocal blogger and I've definitely noticed that some of the site's most loyal readers (who I regularly communicate with via Twitter) are now choosing twitter to discuss articles amongst themselves, rather than engaging in wider debate on the site. I think that's a bit of a loss in terms of the quality of debate. On the other hand, Twitter also consistently drives about 7% of total traffic to my site and plenty of the stories I tweet about get retweeted, so I believe it's definitely helping the site reach a broader audience.
