I work for an internet company, and we've always noted how people will say the most rude and deplorable things when they submit feedback. I had a friend who processed letters to the editor for a magazine, and she said the same thing. <BR/><BR/>I think it can be understood with a simple, two part theory. 1) people are several times more likely to pipe up when they're angry about something than when they're happy, and 2) anonymity/the perceived right to speak without consequence reduces many, many people to spoiled, tantrum-throwing children.<BR/><BR/>The folks at Penny Arcade put it well with <A HREF="http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y256/cammila/greaterdickwad.jpg" REL="nofollow">this image</A>.Cammilahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14789861707977033486noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1455132430625035817.post-78496021495326000802008-07-04T09:12:00.000-07:002008-07-04T09:12:00.000-07:00Really insightful observation. It's funny how print and online media sort of "rely" on each other, but compete against one another, too. I often use the second person in my writing and it is something that's fairly unique to blogging!CoutureCarriehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07401719580947285891noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1455132430625035817.post-85183626499904070842008-06-25T20:53:00.000-07:002008-06-25T20:53:00.000-07:00I love you!

A couple of blogger freinds met online and we discussed our viewer profile. Turns out, I am getting as more hits from UK, US, and Canada combined, than I am getting from all of Asia. So last week, i finally got down to chalking out a new content profile for the blog. I also noticed that i had veered drastically from the street fashion concept. So, more decisions to make there. <BR/><BR/>Your post has been most helpful.

The most reader-oriented blog I've ever read is Retail Recovery. Though I've never posted a comment there, I read it religiously. I agree about Imelda. I read that one daily too, now that I've discovered it. And I wonder if it isn't from being spoiled by blogs like these that have caused me to lose my appetite for Anna and her ilk.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1455132430625035817.post-69767868328600671752008-06-04T02:30:00.000-07:002008-06-04T02:30:00.000-07:00A fundamental point if you are looking to build your readership.
