Thanks for the comments. Gordon, Tom (whose persuasiveness was a big reason I started blogging in the first place) has suggested I get on Twitter, but believe it or not, I don’t even have a cell phone (… yet?). And if I were to use a Twitter site—well, I may as well just blog.

I think blogging is a great way to keep in touch with colleagues and friends, especially for those who tend to be introverted.

Thanks for your interesting, well-written posts. I always enjoy them even though this is the first time I’ve commented.

It’s a funny time to be blogging. Comments are scarce (they used to be the life blood of a blog, not so much these days), and more and more people will read via RSS meaning it’s hard to get a good picture of how many people are reading.

I’ve definitely learned from your public thoughts, and I’m sure others have as well. I have 2 blogs, both of which function just how you describe yours, as a way of processing and analysing my thoughts.

Keep on blogging!

And maybe try Twitter too?

@Ben: Thanks (or “thanx” in other slang-tinged parts of our “kewl” blogosphere, lol). While I’m an anime blogger by night, I’m a technical writer/editor by day. So in terms of anime posts, my experience is quite similar. The thoughts and insights of other perspectives are always beneficial. Whether they follow technical conventions or plow full speed into the “urban dictionary”, hehe. So this comment is my way saying, “I’m reading. So don’t stop writing.” Thanx again. ^_^
