u.a.:
Werbeblogger:
You wrote a lot about permission marketing and the advantages of dialogues. Can you tell us why you shut down your comment area in your blog? And is a blog still a blog without the idea of dialogue?
Seth Godin:
Okay, first of all, I NEVER had comments. I put them on one post. So „shut down“? isn“t fair. Second, a blog is whatever you want it to be. How dare someone tell you you can“t have a blog if you don“t fit their definition of it! What about boingboing and postsecret? Both are in the top 10 and neither takes comments. The whole thing is silly. I have a dialogue with 200 or more people a day“¦ by email, which is non-anonymous and focused and manageable. Try that with JD Salinger“¦
Das ist auch der Grund, warum ich Seth seltenst lese, zumal ich auch seine Aussagen für mehr oder minder superlangweilig erachte, aber das ist ein anderes Thema.
