Darren Rowse, on Problogger.net, put up a great post today about the lack of open contact on many blogs these days. He spent a bit of time trying to contact a writer on CNET’s Alpha Blog and was unable to.
He lists why comments are not really enough in the way of opening a dialogue.
- Firstly it gives your readers a way to privately contact you
- It gives readers a sense of power
- It’s about accountability
- It identifies problems
- It opens opportunities
I really think it is a great read, and something I have noticed that I personally don’t do enough about, partially because any attempt I make at opening ways to contact me, leads to an increase in spam.
Yeah its pretty crazy when the “big guns” dont even have a contact page.
i guess it’s okay to contact you via e-mail. just make sure that you use a non-corporate e-mail. in the addition to that, i cannot recommend giving more of your privy infos such as your tel. no. or snail mail. you know how nefarious Internet is nowadays.
