Cellphone Plan Home Business

I read a lot of blogs and come across many that have comments disabled. Here at Home Cell Phone Business, there is comment moderation in force, which is a lot different. The comment spam is so bad that the comment moderation feature of WordPress lets me keep the blog uncluttered and makes it easy for me to let only the real comments through.

In my opinion, a blog without comments is not really a blog – it’s an online newsletter. Not a bad thing necessarily, an online newsletter, but unless you’re allowing commentary and open discussions, it’s so .. um .. Web 1.0.

Comments are what make blogs what they are – kind of like an open discussion led by the blog author. I still read some blogs that don’t have comments because they can still have great content, but it does feel like something is missing.
