Then you have people who talk about social media but yet as you've said they don't allow for comments or don't respond when they get them on their blog/ site - so really is social media all that social? Forget the hype, the person who the world loves today will be forgotten tomorrow - do what you love and forget what the world things. There is a market for just about everything - just look at the pet rock. It is really funny how everyone gets caught up on a “label” called blogger, but aren’t we still human beings?

So I found his email address somewhere on his blog, and sent him a letter. He almost immediately responded, and even referred to my question on his blog. Just wanted to say that he really does read his emails and respond. It would be interesting to hear his explanation as to why he doesn't allow comments. I'm guessing it has to do with the amount of comments he would get, and how it would be very time consuming to manage them.
