I’ve always considered weblogs and the ability to comment on them to go hand-on-hand and never thought otherwise but lately I’ve grown more akin to the fact that you may not always need them. It all depends solely on how you present your content. Is your content conversational or presentational? Cameron provides a well put metaphor on the matter:

Is a conversation the best metaphor to describe a weblog with comments? In my opinion, a better comparison would be a presentation. A few hundred attendees come to a specific area to hear what you have to say. And commenting would be like allowing each audience member who desires to take the podium and say whatever they want anonymously.

Ability to comment is something that is readily available for me but choose not to implement but that’s not to say that I don’t appreciate feedback on a post. In fact, I enjoy receiving emails.

Originally from Philly but now residing in New York, Jason Santa Maria is now on a quest to find the “best” tasting cheesesteak in the Big Apple and if you’ll be in town or available on Sept. 26th, feel free to join the gang in this expedition. I signed up for it, so see you there.

“MoFuse is a service that lets you convert basically any site with a RSS feed, to a mobile site hosted by MoFuse. You can customize the design, setup your very own domain, and even add advertising to the mobile version of your site. This is a great option if you don’t feel comfortable hosting your mobile site yourself. And the best part is, MoFuse supports both traditional mobile phones, and the iPhone, which is really cool.”
