The moment your blog post became a conversation, was somewhere just past your last question mark and the first comment. Blogs are like signs posted on a community bulletin board, you have to read them before you can become interested enough to engage in a dialogue much less a conversation. Congrats on getting this blog post from point A to point B, the conversation. Thank Joseph Jaffe for bringing it to my attention.

On a blog, the exchange is more like an asynchronous dialogue than a true conversation. There is far more real-time exchange on Twitter, ooVoo, phone, backyard fence, or whatever. But the blog posts can spark it. I see my blog as my thought/experience outpost more than a conversation.

I wrote a post about this a while ago. I think a blog is like a classroom. One person talks then others respond. (Seth Godin is a big lecturer. Take your conversations outside.)

There are a lot of different styles of blogger, just like there are a lot of different styles of teacher. Some people will get involved in real 2-way communication, others give their speech and move on.

But you’re right: in no way is a blog like a conversation.

I am not a social media consultant and my blog is not a conversation. I think that the most overused words of 2007/08 are “conversation” and “authentic”. I believe that on occasion conversations occur on blogs, but they are the exception and not the norm… and simply because the conversation appears on the blog doesn’t make the blog a conversation any more than a couch is a conversation simply because one is had on it.

To a certain degree we’ve fooled ourselves into feeling that everything in the “web 2.0″ world is now a perfect 2-way street. It’s not. Not everyone had something to say. Sometimes you’d rather read than write, and sometimes that is for the best.

Look to the analytics of any blog and you’ll see at least 10x as many people reading only, as opposed to commenting. Some people want to talk, and some want to just listen.

The main difference is that it’s not the responsibility of the reader to provide interesting content to the author, but it is the responsibility of the author to provide interesting content to the reader- else their traffic will surely drop.

95% of comments made online aren’t all that interesting. Just look on YouTube

Amamda,

You’re playing with semantics. But that’s not, necessarily, a bad thing. While I would tend to agree with you, Falls does have a point. At the now silent SHAMblog, a string of comments to a post would give one the impression that its readers were sitting in a pub enjoying intellectual banter while drinking their favorite ale. Off blog, even the blogger, my former professor and freelance guru, commented several time about the rate of back-in-forth conversation.

I tend to think my blog is less of a conversation and more about information. From what I can tell, many come to read.

Not a conversation. A fanzine, maybe. Something from which conversations arise, but not a place they happen and not conversations themselves. A slow, spotty, poorly-organized epistolary mystery. Comments on most blogs are typically either “me too”, “no way”, or introductions to actual conversations elsewhere.
