As a relatively recent blogger I find the nature of comments to posts is intriguing. So far less than 2% of the views have resulted in comments.
I categorise comments to blogs tentatively as:
- supportive – but with no other content
- supportive with no relevant content but ingratiating
- supportive with relevant content
- supportive with an own agenda to propagate
- opposing and insulting with no content
- opposing with rational content but insulting
- opposing with rational content
- neutral but propagating own agenda
Types 5 and 6 are not very pleasant to read but perhaps they are better than no comment at all in that they represent people sufficiently engaged to comment. I think they cannot be fulfilling their own purposes since every offensive remark only seems to discount any content that might be present. Comments of Type 2 and 8 are the most irritating. Types 7 and 3 are the most appreciated.
