Quick update on coComment ... you mentioned we had some bugs while transitioning to he new version, V2 beta, and these issues have now been solved. coComment is the first comment/conversation tracking service and the new version includes many advanced features, such as sharing, private and public groups, etc. If you'd like to check it out and have any questions or feedback, feel free to contact me at kristina@cocomment.com.

I'm thinking the 2.0 might be about right, perhaps higher. Will Richardson has been saying for years that blogging is more about reading that it is writing. Reading, should cause us to ask questions, ask for clarification and flesh out the ideas of others. Commenting usually doesn't bring people as much satisfaction but comments should help extract meaning and depth. Maybe it should be closer to 3.0?

The metric makes it easier to track progress and achieve a goal. You mentioned in the January post that you don't know what's the optimal value is. Any better idea these days? I'd venture to say that bloggers should comment more frequently than they post -- maybe to the tune of a 2.0. To answer your question, I use cocomment (23 comments since June) and blog (20 posts since June). 23/20 = 1.15. As a fairly new blogger, I certainly am guilty of not commenting enough. But, I'm happy to see how the numbers worked out for me. With this metric in mind, I want to hit 1.5 by Thanksgiving. Thanks for the idea!

My experience has been that the biggest reason blogs die is because bloggers don't invest in reading and contributing to others. Somehow they are disappointed when no one reads their stuff but they choose not to read and comment elsewhere. Doesn't make much sense but it happens. If you are disciplined enough to comment without tracking or counting, that's great but I also don't want to get involved in a discussion and then leave it. Without some tracking or feed, you're back to having emailed blog updates and I hate that.
