Chris,
One way I have seen Bloggers get more feedback (I agree with you that some of the best value in a post comes from comments) is to ask for it in the copy. Near or at the end of the post.

I always try to take the time and comment on an interesting post if I read it. It's nice just to say thanks or at least spark some discussion.

I know nothing about Twitter (I know, I gotta find out about it) but I am surprised that there is not some way if a person responds to you blog on Twitter that it does not automatically post as a response to your blog.

But as I write this I can see issues. But there has to be someone out there you can figure out a solution and allow those Twitter replies to appear.

By the way, check me out at www.gonzoblogging.com

An old school rule of thumb from broadcast states popularity is the inverse of unsolicited response. Happy viewers watch but don’t take the time to reach out and say “Thanks, love your show.” We witness this phenom when a show is canceled and the crowd of fans suddenly appear to protest. My thought is you are probably getting read by far more people than your stats suggest. Keep up the good work.

Chris,

Bravos on another fine post. Count me among the guilty. You’re in my reader, enjoy your posts but have never offered a comment until now. An old school rule of thumb from broadcast states popularity is the inverse of unsolicited response.

Ha – as it happens I just posted about the same topic! http://www.diaryofareluctantblogger.com/2008/07/interesting-chat-with-chief-storyteller.html

Commenting is an integral part of joining the conversation, but the other side of the coins is that it’s ok if you don’t get too many comments on your own blog – you may have a more passive audience than others – but it doesn’t mean they aren’t there, reading your stuff!
