does Dan Gillmor just not like the comments he's getting?

MORE:

I don’t know if you are proving my point, Seth — I’d have to see Dan’s side of it also and I can’t *make* him talk… (I can only ask…)

Delia

P.S. you are welcome! D.
...
Dan,

I’m just wondering… what would you like to get as comments? I mean, I find that Jon’s comments (and Seth’s) add a lot of value to your blog — by challenging some of the things you say, it becomes more than one person’s view on things.

Delia

P.S. Their comments may not be perfect or perfectly pleasant but they always seem to attempt to get the ball of discussion rolling (a big plus as far as I can tell). Yet most of the time… it just doesn’t seem to work. Do you just not like most of the comments you are getting? D.

(Wikia) people powered search -- the *wrong* way...

I think this is a serious limitation of search engines. Plenty of things are just not amenable to using "repeatable, mechanized processes." There is definitely a place for people as far as improving search.

re: "Delia: Sort of defeats the purpose."

Seth: I would have asked Larry to post again without the credibly libelous part. I mean, it's not like all comments bring original criticism here...

Delia

P.S.not a big deal, though (I just thought I'd let you know what I thought) D.
...

(5th comment) Let Larry talk, Seth... Let *us* decide if the part you did not regard as credible libel was "common criticism"... (now you just made me curious...)

Milton: I don't think the idea, in general, is a bad one (using people to improve search). I just don't think it could or should be done the way Jimmy is trying to do it (Seth is right on this).

Delia

to Twitter or not to Twitter? (is the time investment worth it?)

re: "Delia: I need to do a video so you can see just how many people I do have a relationship with online and just how they add value to my life on all these services."

OK, Robert -- I'd watch that. (I just hope I'll remember to check for it...)

Delia

P.S. take care! D.

...
Robert,

just how much time are you spending following half a thousand people around these services? do you really *know* these people at a meaningful level? (random pictures and one line twitter posts don’t seem all that conducive to knowing people — definitely not 500 of them…)

Delia

P.S. it all sounds rather silly to me… (sorry if I’m wrong) D.

to blog or not to blog? what *kind* of blogging?

STILL MORE:

Dan&Seth: I don’t think the issue can be presented in *general terms* — it’s WAY too varied… might just as well ask, “Is *reading* killing us?” — it all depends what are you reading and how you react to it, doesn’t it? it may well give heart attacks to some of the people… D.

EVEN MORE:

Seth,

Don’t you think it’s a legitimate concern? for *some* blogging/blogers? The issue could definitely be better framed but it is one worth talking about… I think.

Delia

MORE: God! how can I still post the wrong email address? (it posted with no problem once I got it right) D.
...
Dan, (2nd comment, awaiting moderation -- forgot to enter webpage , I don't know if this caused it to go in moderation, it usually posts automatically)

It seems to me that the issue is poorly defined: what *kind* of blogging?… it can be an enjoyable walk in the park or a recurrent nightmare and probably pretty much everything in between — all in a day of blogging.

another Delia?

MORE:

Dan,

I’m a bit confused about the “other Delia” that started to post on this blog while I was taking a break. No, I don’t have exclusive claim to my first name but I found it strange that that name is not present on her blog anywhere I could see, yet she uses it to post here.

Delia

P.S. Not necessarily ill intended, of course, just seems odd to me… D.
...
when I saw her post I was worried someone was impersonating me... it still seems odd that she only uses the name "Delia" on Dan Gilmor's blog... (not on hers) -- I took a cursory look at her blog... D.
