Louis Gray, who is now my favorite blogger who covers what’s happening in the social media space, writes a blog post about how bloggers are getting worried about the fracturing of their comments. It is currently on the top of TechMeme, and since today’s Saturday, that must mean it’s the bitchmeme of the week.
Anyway, I am seeing this trend big time. Over on FriendFeed I’m seeing better comments than I see on most blogs (and more quantity too).
The era when bloggers could control where the discussion of their stuff took place is totally over.
This is a trend that the best bloggers should embrace. Me? I follow wherever the conversation takes me.

As a counterpoint, Tony Hung tells us all to NOT steal his content. Me? I’ve found that by being open with my content a lot of good has come back to me, so I’m with Louis on this one.
Bloggers, pick your sides! Who you with? Louis? Or Tony?

OK, actually I do agree that if people take your comment, then, of course it would be really NICE if they gave you credit. However, since the world is rarely if ever nice, um, well, can’t expect that
cheers
