Going One Better Than You Comment I Follow Crap

Friday, August 15th, 2008 at 10:54 am

OK, I am normally a patient sort of bloke but this “You Comment I Follow” bullshit is really pissing me off. I reckon that although there may be some bloggers that are doing the right thing most of them just display the badge to con people into leaving a comment. Out of all the comments I have left on so called ‘You Comment I Follow’ blogs there was only one blogger that had the decency to follow me back to my blog and actually leave me a comment. That blogger was David Rader whose post was actually sending the whole thing up anyway. David I commend you on your post U Comment I Follow Parody Badges for it certainly is a mockery of the movement.

Still I concede that there is merit in the idea, it’s just too bad that bloggers are not following it diligently. I see no reason why I shouldn’t try to take the ‘You Comment I Follow’ movement one step further. I promise that if you comment on one of my posts, not only will I follow you to your blog but I will comment on one of your posts. Now I concede that may well have been the intention of the original movement but apart from those like David very few are following it to to the point of leaving a comment. Maybe they are following, maybe they are getting lost along the way, but whatever they are bloody doing it’s not culminating in a comment. So as far as I am concerned it’s out with the old movement and in with the new.
