It is simply one of the best shows I have ever watched. I mean, who hasn’t had a weird boss, odd co-workers, with occasional job relationships slipped in?
Alright, that might be just me. But anyways, I was just catching up on season five and it turns out, the Michael Scott Paper Company just made its first sale. The excitement in their faces was friggin’ amazing and it reminded me of something last week.
I got my first comment on Pages Are Social.
When I got my first comment on Pages Are Social, I felt validated as a blog, much like Michael Scott felt validated as a paper mill company.
It gave me a reason to keep on investing time and effort to continue blogging. It was my version of currency.
I think every blogger needs that, some notification that they exist and a comment can do just that and I don’t think readers do that enough.
Now, I am not going to go on a rant about distributed conversations (I support them 100%), or rant about how many comments I get or don’t get (that is just silly) but sometimes a blogger really enjoys a comment on their own space. It gives us a reason to keep going and for people who love to blog, you have no idea how much a comment can bring a smile to our face.
So, my suggestion, the next time you read a post and you enjoy it, instead of commenting on say, FriendFeed, Google Reader or even Twitter, think about leaving a comment.
Comments are sometimes that extra little push that keeps us going and bringing you the content you (hopefully) enjoy.
