I in fact use my writing/posting day for doing that - from time to time Fridays, occasionally Saturdays, but generally weekly.

Instead of your typical post (or as well as), get out there and comment on some blogs. Contribute to their conversations. Find some good stuff and add to it.

Tucked away in our nike air max 2010 mens running shoes subconscious is an idyllic vision. We see ourselves on a long nike air max 2010 trip that spans the continent. We are traveling by train. Out air max 2009 windows, we drink in the passing scene of cars on nearby highways, of children waving at nike red air max 2009 crossing, of cattle grazing on air max 95 black distant hillside, of smoke pouring from a power plant, of row upon nike air 95 row of corn and wheat, of flatlands and valleys, of mountains and rolling air max 90 hillsides, of city skylines and village halls. But uppermost in our minds is the final destination. On a certain blue air max 90 for women day at a certain hour, we will pull into the station. Bands will be playing and flags nike air max 180 waving. Once we get there, so many wonderful dreams will come true and the pieces of our black nike air max shoes lives will fit together like a completed jigsaw puzzle. How restlessly we pace the aisles, bing the minutes for nike air max light shoes loitering --waiting, waiting, waiting for womens nike air max station.Sooner or later, we must realize there is no station, no one air max ltd classic place to arrive at once and for all. The true joy of air max shoes store life is the trip. The station is only a dream. It constantly outdistances us.So stop pacing the aisles and counting the miles. In stead, climb more nike air max white mountains, eat more ice cream, go barefoot more often, swim more rivers, watch more women air max shoes sunsets, laugh more, cry less. Life must be lived as we go along. The station will come men air max shoes soon enough.

GREAT IDEA!
I BLOG, WRITE IN JOURNAL, COMMENT, MESSAGE, MAKE NEWFRIENDS, PREACH GOD'S WORD, AND UPLOAD PHOTOS EVERYDAY AS MEANS OF COMUNICATING WITH MANY IN DIFFERENT STATES; IT'S REWARDING.

Cheers,

My God, it was full of blogs!

In all seriousness, nice to check out some different blogs and different ideas.

I visited about 100 blogs and left comments on a little over half of them. Usually I tried to add to the conversation; if I couldn't, I didn't.

It took a few hours but it was an interesting learning experience.

My results from your suggestion.

I had fun, and enjoyed reporting in on Twitter during the day. Don't miss @BarbaraKB's suggestion that we make real world conversation on May Day.

Do you think conversation in blogs - in the comments will become extinct due to the uptake of Twitter? What is lost or what is gained by this faster form of conversation?

Well, I'm halfway through my "Read and Comment Day," and things are going well. I usually comment on a couple of things here and there, but today I'm making a concerted effort to focus on commenting, both on items I encounter in my Google Reader feed and in items that I find via Disqus.

Another way that FriendFeed users in particular can make sure they're interacting with others in FriendFeed is to attempt to keep their personal weekly FriendFeed "comments" and "likes" above a particular level. I'm trying to keep mine above 100/week, but obviously any goal that allows you to interact with the community more is beneficial. The one drawback, of course, is that a comment that goes to FriendFeed is NOT going to the original blog or artifact, so you may or may not want to participate in this way.

Just what I needed today. But does this count as one?

This is a fantastic idea, Chris. I'm a little late to the game, seeing that Monday the 28th is rapidly retreating already, but I'll do my best to contribute to the conversation on the blogs I read today (beginning with this one).

If it hasn't already been addressed, I'm in favor of Carolyn's suggestion: having "Read and Comment Day" fall on the fourth (or perhaps, to borrow from Arbor Day, the final) Monday of April each year.

Thanks for giving me a much-needed excuse to stop lurking and start contributing.

Ok, here's my first comment of the day. It's good you're bringing attention to this, as I often get so consumed with reading that I don't get around to commenting. Here goes!

What an excellent idea! Good to go with Entrecard browsings, too.

Good plan. I have been breaking out of the lurking habit lately, as a budding blogger myself, I realize that bloggers obviously want to be read, and what evidence of such would be left, if not for comments.

This is akin to the practice in daily life of commenting to people those random thoughts and observations that most of us keep to ourselves... ie: "I really enjoyed your presentation, thanks" or "I like what you have done with____" or just engaging in conversation, however brief about something that relates directly to the person.

Everyone has comments, too rarely they air them, online or otherwise.

It will be interesting to see the reports back on how this influences conversation.

Monday, 4/28, also just happens to fall at the beginning of National Volunteer week. So I'd propose a mashup: To combine "Reading & Commenting" day with "National Volunteer Week," stop by the blog of a nonprofit who's mission you support, and leave a comment offering a few words of specific advice or volunteering a few hours of your consulting services to help improve their blog and/or social media strategy.

As the founder of a fledgling nonprofit that's keeping a blog as a diary of our experiment in social entrepreneurship, I think I speak for many social benefit organizations when I say we would welcome the opportunity to get feedback and suggestions from volunteers who "live and breathe" the blogosphere.

So, while you're celebrating "Reading & Commenting Day" on Monday (which, btw, is a fabulous idea!), stop by a nonprofit blog - like ours at http://www.EpicChange.org/blog - and donate a few minutes of your time to give us some candid feedback & advice. We could really use your help, as could the causes we support.

Celebrate "Reading & Commenting Day" & National Volunteer Week: Make a comment that makes a difference :)

Isn't that what community and support is all about? I'm in!

Fantastic idea. I really haven't been commenting enough lately. I blame Twitter for eating up all my spare time.

Chris,

I have a *work day* habit of get up, read my favorite four blogs, comment, get to writing my own blog, then go read some more of my favorites, comment and then go find two new ones and comment.
It's a full time job. :)
Of course there is also twitter time...

Just for you I will add in two extra blogs. OK?

By the way ... is this going to be on the fourth Monday of April each year, or April 28 each year? I ask because I'm making a list of "Web holidays" for my own blogging reference. (Seriously!)

Or are you going to take the suggestion that this be a monthly thing?

Sounds like a plan to me.
