Wow! I’m soooooo happy that I upgraded to WordPress…or more specifically, that I was able to re-enable comments on my blog (no matter how many times I tried, I just couldn’t get the MT plugins to work). I’ve had more nice comments from a wide range of friends that I haven’t heard from in a while as well as excellent feedback from a number of people who I didn’t even know was reading.
This just really reinforces in my mind that the power of blogs is not just in the simplicity of posting, but in the simplicity of community, and makes me wonder if there aren’t possibly some really innovative things that can be done to bring together many different types of communications mediums such as blogs, email, SMS, etc, on both a community but possibly also individual topic level. The long tail theory I’m sure would have a lot to say about thinking of the market not just in the context of individual small websites, but of individual snippits of content on those sites.
