We can only take people’s word for what wedding they are attending, therefore we are not responsible for guests booking under different names or choosing to attend another event. ” Geez, why are these people in a service industry if they clearly are so defensive and about comments made about them in the first place?

If your blog is an automated sales pitch with comments turned off, do us all a favor and just go take out an ad and get over it. I’m reading an amazing book from Steven Pressfield right now called “ Do the Work “ (Actually I’m listening to the audio-book since I drive a lot and I’m a chronic multi-tasker).

Make sure it’s easy for people to comment and share your brilliance with others. For example, I have one for a Google+ e-book. Send traffic to your blog, where deeper conversations can take place. Have a clear call to action on the blog so people can do something when they get there. They’re your social media evangelists.

Even if you have listening tools set up that alert you to comments, that discussion takes place on the hosts’ web site, while your own post may sit with fewer comments. Comment on your posts when someone asks a question and set alerts so you can follow that conversation by email. What’s the point in that?

Books, magazines, trade journals, media. Sometimes the best part of a post is in the comments and that’s just fine. Do what I did, and ask your network on Twitter, Facebook, forums, whatever networks you belong too. Where do you see a hole in the discussion? Share your thoughts on a subject and see where it goes.
