Blip to the Blop.

Best Discussion 2006

January 12th 2007 02:49
Orble reached a fairly dramatic point in November '06. Two schools of thought were developing; one that Orble was a community who work together to read eachothers work, give advice and funtion as a small close knit community, the other that Orble was a place for people to come to via other sources, designed as a community that made it easier for everyone to co-operate towards gaining more viewers from outside the general Blogosphere. The bubble was ready to burst, and Katyzzz was the one with the pin.

Her post Why don't you respond to others by supporting them, visiting and commenting, when they have been good enough to support you? set of a ferocious clash of views, and an intence debate over the role of Orble. The post was barely the size of a good poem, but the page grew abnormally with a flurry of views.


I hope people support me because they enjoy my blog and because they think I have something valid to say. Nice and simple. And I support others because I'm always on the lookout to learn something new. I believe that good writers need to read alot to learn alot so they can write alot.

There's unwritten blog etiquette which says if someone comments on your blog, you should at least leave a 'Hi!' comment on theirs.

And if someone links to your site, you should link to theirs.

…but seriously... KTZ... a good question... we all blog for money, sure... the thought is there... and I drop votes everywhere I can because of it… especially if the person has worked hard on a good thought provoking or entertaining post…but I think that eventually there is more to it than that... therefore to me blogging has morphed into more than a quick way to make a buck...


Like many others, I don't always leave a comment, but the comments really make the blogging more than ‘just a job...’
- Lilla.

I shall always believe in paying my dues, in every area of life, after all, some are not so fortunate as others and I think it's a good thing to count one's blessings and help others along the way, just as they help us from time to time.
- Katyzzz

I dunno... I don't really care if someone leaves a comment on one of my blogs if it's just a comment for the sake of making a comment (if that makes sense). I read and enjoy various other blogs here, but I don't always comment on them. It feels kind of cheap to make a comment with no substance.
- Luke.

"My comment for your comment" sounds to me like barter, and it's a cheap coin to pay with for someone's writing. I write comments or vote on blogs I find interesting, the fact that those people don't visit me doesn't make me like their writing less and it certainly doesn't stop me from going to their blogs again and again. I don't like the idea of someone posting a comment on my blog just because he feels it's a duty or some kind of exchange. I expect people to visit/write comments because they like what they read.
There...I've said it....
- Pilgrim.

Love it or hate it, it was a pretty important monent for Orble.

Katyzzz; I present you , the Mouth.

Heh, that little moment just showed how young orble was a a community and how the majority of members are not well versed in the ways of online communities.

Like a coming of age thing...



Why does katyzzz get the mouth? I want the mouth!

I dunno about brave... I just really thought that this post solidified a feeling and moment in time. I couldn't credibly NOT say it was the Discussion of '06.
