I, too, hate the impersonal nature of just putting “nice post” on someone’s blog. The blogger took the time to write something meaningful for us to read, so why can’t we all take the time to write a comment that really means something? Make a contribution for a change! I am truly enjoying your posts, and can’t wait to read more. I enjoy the human-to-human nature of posting on a blog. You see more of the person behind the screen than you do on twitter and the like. Spamming is an unconscionable, but necessary, evil in our online business ventures.

Hi Des; been awhile since I’ve commented, but you’ve given me something to say on this one.

I’m of the opinion that even back in the earlier days when it was an actual person dropping that line that it was a major league waste of time. Think about it; you spend however long in writing something of substance to only get that brief “nice post” comment; ugh! I don’t mind when I just drop a video on there that I want to share with folks, but if I’ve spent time researching something then writing about it, or have written one of my famous 2,000 word missives, I’m hoping for a little more than “nice post” whenever I’d written that beast.

Of course, the spam is getting better at tricking people every day; they’re just not smart enough yet not to post the same comment on three or four posts of that same blogger. lol

I think they usually link back to some anonymous advertising site. Otherwise, I suppose there are people who don’t have anything useful to do in their lives.
