Which Type of Blog Comments Do You Leave?

May 31, 2010 4

Matthew Warner suggests there are 10 types of blog comments:

  1. Encouragers
  2. Non-contributors
  3. Contributors
  4. Destitutes
  5. Slackers
  6. Brawlers
  7. Angries
  8. Posers
  9. Self-promoters
  10. Aliens

Have a read of Matthew’s article (where he provides a description of each type) and ask yourself, which type of blog comments do I leave?

    Hey, Nathan. I hope I’m seen as a encourager/contributor.

      Don: I think we all want to be in those categories mate. :-)

    Is it wrong that I was tempted to try to come up with a comment that somehow fit every category?

    I enjoyed Matthew’s article, and of the categories, I’d say that most of the time I’m in the Encourager or Contributor. More often than not in the former because I don’t always have a lot to add depending on the discussion.

    Whenever I’m in “Angry” mode, I have to count to ten (or twenty) before hitting “submit.” I usually end up not doing so.

      Aaron: It would have been rather amusing if you had achieved such a comment. :-)
