Let's play - hit me with a comment

One goal is to speak you mind. Tell others what you think – but why?
For me it is to get attention and hopefully to learn. Expressing thoughts makes thinking more structured.

Some how the audience – readers affect our thinking and also presentation of our ideas. We will change our way of telling by our expectations of our audience. (And their reactions. This is very true in standup comedy – why not in factual writing?)

So one goal for the game of communication is to get an audience – imaginative or real, passive or actively participating. In this experiment I have tried to get an audience by emailing scholars and publishing technorati “tags” – and also by writing comments to other bloggers. (Just like the idea that you get letters, if you send letters.) By being active you will get responses.

At the moment I have more hits to this site than otherwise. Estimate is based on hits to my other sites. I have 5 times more hits than two months ago. (Hit counter shows 120 hits to this site and that means about 50 – 60 different visitors.)

Why is there no comments?

• Is it summertime and not for serious thinking?


• Is the structure of writing – unstructured and hard to comment on?


• Is there nothing unique or controversial to comment?


• Is the subject uninteresting? – Who cares?


• Or is this still hidden from people that could have something to contribute?
