Today’s mission was to ask a question in the comments on another blog. Said questions were supposed to be “open-ended and thought-provoking.” I’ve gone ahead and asked two questions.
The first stems from a post on the Langwitches blog, in which Silvia discusses adding Technorati tags to your posts. She discusses a Wordpress plugin called WP Tags to Technorati, which will do pretty much as it says: It takes the tags you enter into the Tags field in the blog post form and converts them to tags that link to Technorati. This makes sure that your post is searchable via those tags at Technorati. Except that with Wordpress, you don’t actually need to use the plugin for that to happen. After a quick exchange with Silvia in her post comments, I decided to ask the plugin’s creator what I was missing. That’s pretty open-ended, isn’t it? Haven’t received a response yet.
But then I got to thinking that this wasn’t really the type of question that activity organizers had in mind as far as though provocation was concerned. So I decided to do a little better. Kevin posted a video on his blog that quickly toured the blogs he’s visited during the Comment Challenge. It got me thinking about video commenting and so I threw the following questions in his direction:
Do you think video commenting of the variety provided by Seesmic is the future of commenting? Is it the logical evolution? Does video make conversations easier or harder? Do the benefits outweigh the disadvantages?
The comment hasn’t actually been moderated yet, so of course, no response either. I’ll update when I hear back from Kevin. I’d be interested in your thoughts on video commenting, but why not hop over to Kevin’s blog and join the conversation there (unless it still hasn’t actually started, in which case feel free to comment here).
