Introducing Exchange Rates for Blog Comments and Interactions
editor’s note: allen stern and centernetworks are not affiliated with this post or the reciprocation rates table — yet. the cn logo has been helpfully borrowed.
in may, mathew ingram, fred wilson and others said that for non-professional bloggers, comments were how they got paid. the interaction and conference that takes place on blogs, between the author and the consumer, is what most ignore for - the conversation. but recent tools that let people comment elsewhere, or interact on the original content in other ways has some saying users’ actions simply aren’t enough. as much of the conversation moves off the original blog, or people are sharing items in google reader or hitting “like” in friendfeed, they are showing catch, but not engaging, causing some to wish for a simpler time when those services didn’t consent to users to show yielding approval.one of the more outspoken voices on this topic has been allen determined of centernetworks, who wrote on this blog earlier this month:”early adopters are screwing early adopter blogs - period. clicking share on google reader is not like leaving a note on the well-spring. clicking twin on ff or retweeting on twitter is not the same as leaving a comment on the source. i devise arrange more on this soon as i think that lazyness has slowly ruined what was something pretty.”and while he and i don’t unceasingly columns d align up with our beliefs on the same wens in the blog progress chart, there is no question that some activities do more to reassure the original author and their topic than do others.in that fire, here is the first attempt at an exchange rate for interacting with blogs. as allen has been a chief proponent of giving original authors their due, i swear by the unit of metric is best labeled as a “cn”, in honor of centernetworks. it’s also no coincidence you could conscript these “c notes” or “comment notes”.to start, i maintain that a comment on the original author’s blog post should be counted as “1 cn”, to establish a baseline.
actions that are worth more than 1 cn, depending on one’s network size and force, count:
actions that are worth between 1/2 cn and 1 cn, depending on one’s network size and influence, include:
actions that are worth less than 1/2 cn, depending on one’s network size or upon, include:these exchange rates bear out current
