i’ve written a post on problogger on how to become a comment leader.
as a content producer, make sure that your audience is comfortable stating their opinion, and as the audience, take full advantage of the platform given to you to express yourselves.
read on and become a comment leader today.
this post is a part of my journey through james surowiecki’s the wisdom of crowds.

Hi Muhammad,
I enjoyed your post at ProBlogger and wanted to say thanks.
Your ideas take me back to the days of BBS’s (sad huh?) and I remember how great it was to get into a conversation with someone about a topic, then have a whole heap of other people contribute - they all wanted to help one another - and it would be a place to learn. Some of these conversations led to relationships, some of which I still have today.
What I’m noticing now is a lot of marketers/PR folk using commenting just to push their brand/product out, and it feels like they are just messing up the Web for the rest of us (maybe I’m just too pessimistic?) - but boy, wouldn’t it be nice if we could have a “Comment Well Day” 😉 - a day where all the influential bloggers out there remind the rest of us the importance of conversation, sharing, and learning…
I am new to your blog, but enjoy what I see - you’ve just found another admirer. 🙂
I saw your post of ProBlogger but decided to post here because already 22 people have commented at Darren’s blog!
It was a great post, and such a simple point but so true! I love it how you gave a few alternate options…but then said ‘this is the best one!’
I just discovered your blog. You’ve got a good collection of posts and guest posts here.
Your post on Problogger is good and makes common sense. I’m wondering if focusing being the first to comment, however, can come with its own downsides. It reminded me of a video from awhile back:
