After reading all of the comments on this post, I added a 100 Things list to my blog. I had no idea how many people liked them. I know blogger’s About Me page is silly, so I guess I can understand people’s desire for more information. It just never occurred to me that my readers might want to know more about me. Sometimes I’m slow to catch on.

1 – I tend to reply in both places to make sure the person who left the comment sees it, but I don’t get a lot of comments these days so it’s easy.

2 – LOVE it! I click through to my fav blogs, especially when I want to leave a comment.

3 – I like about pages and things that help me learn more aboutthe blogger.

4 – Some of the memes are fun. They’re best behind a cut tag or a “read more” link.

5 – Ew. Just sayin’. I still love you though.

*I love bloggers who reply to comments, I think they’re awesome.
*Google Reader is the Best. Thing. Ever.
*I love, love, love “about” and “100 things about me” and all that stuff – the more weird facts about someone I get, the more I love it.
*I’m lame, I don’t know much about memes so no real input there.
*I have a myspace but haven’t checked it in a looong time, because I don’t like it – first off, the site is so UGLY!

I’m delurking to join in here – I’ve read and loved your blog for over a year now, but never commented.

- I like comment replies in the comments section.

- I don’t do RSS feeds because I like to see the layouts of each site. I come from a design background so maybe that’s why. But I feel like maybe I should at least learn more about RSS because it seems to be the Thing To Know About right now.

- I love “About Me” pages and 100 things, but like Jessica above, am having a hard time developing my own.

- Memes are okay, but usually I skip over them when reading. I haven’t had my own blog long enought to reply to one.

- I do MySpace but mostly just to keep in contact with old friends who should not know about my blog. At least not yet.

*I like reply comments in the comment section, because it keep the conversation going. But if it is more of a private comment, then email it. I find myself rechecking blogs where I know the comments go back and forth.

*RSS is GREAT! I love using Bloglines, but I only use it for a notifier, I click through to their page to ready the posts.

*I like any and all of those things…they help me jump into a new blog a little better. It doesn’t matter which is used though.

* I enjoy reading and answering meme’s. They are fun, light, easy reads. Its nice to get to know some random things about people.

* I do myspace…but I feel “Meh.” about it anymore. I keep it because there are some people I only talk to on myspace.

For my site, I try to always answer comments via e-mail just as a common courtesy. If someone asks a question that might occur to more than one person, I address it in the comments. I know as a blog reader, it can be discouraging to read comment frequently on someone’s blog and never see that comment get acknowledged.

RSS feeds: I like them and can see the usefulness of them, but I don’t feel like you get the full blog experience unless you read the blog itself. I only use feeds for blogs I don’t have on my blogroll.

About pages: Must haves, in my opinion. I also love the 100 things list, but I’d prefer a little more effort from the blogger.

MySpace: I don’t really like it, but I have an account to keep up with siblings who don’t check my blog. I’ve also gotten in contact with lost friends from high school, and that’s been fun.

Memes: I like them, but only if the blogger puts in the effort to make it original.

1. I don’t go back and check the comments (too many blogs to read!) so I will never know if the blogger replied, unless they email me.

2. I love the lists and need to do one on my blog. They are really fun to read.

3. Memes can be fun or kinda stupid. Just depends on the Meme, I guess.

4. Myspace. No. Guess I’m too old.

5. I don’t like RSS feeds, but that’s just because I like people to see my actual blog. I change the book I am reading on my blog, for example. I just go through my favorites list every day. But that’s not for everyone. Whatever works for you is what works.

This is a great post. I appreciate hearing your thoughts.

I love feeds. They make reading blogs at work so much easier. But it is sad now that I don’t comment on all the posts I read.

I prefer e-mailed responses to comments I leave. I never go back to see if the blogger has responded via the comment section. Should I?

I like About pages. I like a list of who they might blog about (family) and a picture. I also like the 100 things list.

I like memes, but only good ones. You know, the kind that give you a glimsp into the blogger that you wouldn’t normally see.

I have a Myspace account. But I think it’s lame. I don’t really understand why people like it so much. I figure they should just get a blog. It’s easier to define yourself through an entier blog then a single Myspace profile.
