Hi and welcome to my blog! If you're new here, you may want to subscribe to my RSS feed. Thanks for visiting and do come back.

Holy baloney, 900 comment is insane. I think one time a while back I got about 50 comments and I was so happy I almost shat myself.

The Dilbert blog (if you don’t read it, you should) posted yesterday asking its users to answer a question about restaurant marketing and event hosting.

On reading the post I was astonished at how flattering the author was (however sarcastically) to his readers call them “The Great Blog Brain”. In return for his flattery he got 900+ answers to his posed questions. Don’t ask me what they all said, there were 900 of them remember.

This does make me ask a some questions and question some answers about blogging and the approach some, if not most bloggers take with their blogs. Does it not make more sense to ask rather than dictate? Don’t get me wrong bloggers with authority and a genuine knack for writing then by all means go all Fidel up in your blog. If you have no skills, no talent, no authority and nothing else going for you, then maybe you should be asking a few more questions of your readers.

Is that not what social media is meant to be? Google has all the answers apparently, but that is not true. It can’t tell you what love is meant to feel like, it can’t tell you how sore a broken arm is, but I bet you that a few readers could give you brilliant answers to both of those questions.

I think an experiment might be in order. I think that I might try this tactic and see what comes of it. Let’s ask some questions.
