The web encourages **comments** -- commentary posted by readers of blogs, flickr photos, youtube videos and more. The conversation that took place solely via email or face-to-face dialogue is now added as a public response through the social web.

//Where is the conversation?// Check the comments. You can even rate the comments (see disqus).

How do we avoid vitriolic comments?

Is commenting on your own post like scoring an own goal?

Hold a comment in the queue if it contains

Comments for this thread are now closed.

We are weaving the web on this wiki and the comments on this thread are never closed.

Quotes
//A post without a comment is like a dog without a bone. Pretty sad and lonely … I contend that blogs without comments turned on are in fact not blogs at all. My position is that comments are mandatory.// //- Joseph Jaffe, Join the Conversation//

Dos and Don'ts
One of the benefits is that even those without an official website can establish their web presence by leaving a response. Comments facilitate engagement.

Our tip for those with a blog or other social web site: manage comments. You should allow some degree of access but you do not have to accept everything. Be sure you are able to manage or moderate the responses.

Our tip for those leaving a response: make sure that your comment is helpful. You might want to run your comment through a spellcheck if that option is not automatic. Don't leave a message just to leave a message. Provide some insight that reflects on what you've read.

Moderation
Consider how you will moderate comments. YouTube, for example, gives you the choice of permitting all comments or screening comments. Wordpress blogs also allow the blog owner to decide the level of comment moderation. Decide which option works best for you.

Which messages to get rid of? Responses have to be more meaningful than 'visit my website' or 'this suuuuuuuuucks.'

If you are going to solicit comments, read them.

Who says you can't herd cats? actually, I think the broom steals the show in this one. || Before, I remember that most items we bought in the markets were wraped in leaves, corn husks, and "de estraza" paper, we used to take our own containers to buy milk or oil, which made bags, plastic wraping and bottles unnecessary. Everything was put in baskets, or "manta" bags a little bigger than the ones you show here. If we made then, we can reduce their use today.

muy interesante seria muy bueno visitar usila. un conjuntos de montanas se llama ámá ||  || The Black Sheep Inn put up this sign in 2001 when the 'new' Latacunga bus station opened. Since then the phone company has added another digit to all telephone numbers in Ecuador. Our telephone number was 03-814-587 and is now 03-281-4587. The bus station did not ask us to pay for the space, but they did require that we make 10 additional signs asking people to keep the bus station clean and throw their trash in its place. These signs were given to the bus station authority, but for some reason never used. We are not sure why. -???-

The bus schedule is still the same. Two buses, Transporte Iliniza, leave Latacunga daily at 11:30am via Sigchos and 12 noon via Zumbahua. Both buses take approximately 3 to 4 hours to arrive in Chugchilán. If you are hiring a private 4x4 from Latacunga to the Black Sheep Inn, your driver often meets you under this sign. ((-0) ||  ||

[|I Heart Central America’s Random Taglines – Travelojos]
Do tourism slogans actually work? I doubt it. At best, they manage to associate a place with some unrelated, but positive concept. At worst, they make a fantastic punchline about a destination that few people would want to visit.

Frankly, I don’t like the sound of any of these slogans. Panama sounds like it has a disease. El Salvador doesn’t seem to be trying. Costa Rica seems to be its own worst greenwashing enemy. Honduras, what are you thinking? Belize, do you want to remain a secret? If so, what is the point of a marketing campaign? Guatemala, how many Maya people work as officials in the tourism department? If you’ve got heart, it would be good to have soul! Mind you, Central America is a beautiful corner of the world with great people, healthy food and inspiring tours. I wish the official marketing would move beyond the pithy promotion and engage locals and visitors on the ground and on the Web. I’m more inspired by photo galleries on Flickr and the homemade videos on YouTube than the official sites.

Slogans are kind of old school. It’s like saying: “here’s how we want you to think of us.” That of course never works. Have you ever met an actual “cool person” who told you that you ought to think of them as being “cool”?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cuyy1PXB_dA <span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #333333; font-family: arial,sans-serif; font-size: 13.3333330154419px;">I'm confused, what is No Walls actually doing? Simply sharing photos/videos with an online community is not a panacea for "inspiring a new generation" with nature. No Walls needs to offer an actual service for people to get outside! What tangible activities IN nature are you planning? What incentives/resources are you providing for people to get outside now?

<span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #333333; font-family: arial,sans-serif; font-size: 13.3333330154419px;">People already know how beautiful nature is, especially our world's protected areas. If I wanted to see 'brilliant videos' of nature, there are already hundreds of places on the internet to go (far better than No Walls). This video isn't making it any more accessible or affordable for people, especially younger generations, to explore nature which is the main barrier to 'connecting' a new generation.

<span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #333333; font-family: arial,sans-serif; font-size: 13.3333330154419px;">What's worse is that this video probably cost a pretty penny to make (even though most of the shots are rehashed from other videos and obviously using free music). Wow, what a scam!
