I don\'t think he\'ll be intimidated by mere mortals like us! I think that Seth has written some great books and has seen success that many other authors can only dream about.

Other than the Permission Marketing & Ideavirus books, IMHO, not all that much of what Seth has to say is either original or new. That isn't to say that it isn't interesting. Intended or otherwise, Seth seems to be a great example of what Tom Peters in a Fast Company article called "The Brand Called You" (http://www.fastcompany.com/online/10/brandyou.html). There doesn't seem be much room for conversation in the brand called Seth Godin? More's the pity.

As Ann says, when it is a website. But, as an experiment on the viral and dynamic impact of social networking, Seth's about face has been a wild success. I hope he was using some new analytic tool to measure it! When is a blog not a blog? As Ann says, when it is a website.

I mean, that's got to be the most talked about post today with 39 comments and 15 trackbacks, let me tell you that will equate into a spike in traffic no matter what. Also look at the comments Joseph Jaffe, Jackie Hubba, David, Mack, Johnny Moore, Ann... not a bad group. As for getting comments on your own blog, first focus on putting stuff out that you are passionate about, comment on other peoples blog (as you just did), and don't sweat it. Try and ask questions, but try to have a point of view. K I wonder if the huge response will make him rethink his comment policy.

He is already a well known marketer and author and some one as popular as him may get overwhelmed with a huge number of comments in the "me too" category. Up until I heard of Seth I had a dislike for "marketers" based on past expeience as an employee and a loyal customer who knew certain marketers didn't "get it" or were doing in wrong but I don't have the same feeling about Seth. He has a lot of common sense. I admit I have gotten to the point where I have written my posts with the readers in mind and even have resorted to tricks to entice people to comment but alas nothing has worked yet. I know I am writing stuff people are interested in. I have had people talk to me in person about how they liked what I wrote but they never bothered to leave a comment. I'd love more than anything to leave comments on Seth's blog but I'm thankful he has trackbacks turned on because in some ways I like using trackbacks as opposed to regular comments. They are better for me as a blogger who can take advantage of the technology but it's not that useful to non-bloggers. I have clients and friends who are not bloggers ao I keep comments turned on in hopes the ball will eventually start rolling. My wife and I have our own business that is still in it's early stages and feedback is crucial to us as we make decisions on what will work and what customers need. I respect Seth for his decision but I don't have the same luxury he does. I can see where he has the luxury of being able to turn off comments.
