Commentstorming Australia
By AndrewBoyd • Aug 27th, 2007 • Category: Blogging tipsCommentstorming is the art of going from one blog to the next via their blogrolls, leaving comments as you go.
Here’s the story of one commentstorming session.
I started at Facibus On Blogging - it’s my own blog, so I didn’t leave a comment 
After that I went to:
- Matt’s Musings and left a comment on Matt’s posting about his topic map engine,
- Leisa Reichelt’s Disambiguity and left a comment on her qualitative research article,
- backtracked to Matt’s Musings and then went to Maria Murphy’s BA Rocks blog and noted that I’d already left a comment on her Agile environment post,
- went to Modern Analyst, noted it was not really a blog,
- backtracked to BA Rocks then went to Steve Collins’ thoughtglue blog, noted that I’d already left a comment on his 10 tips on KM strategies post,
- went from there to Steve’s other blog (acidlabs) and commented on his post on Eloquence (which was eloquent if not entirely defensible logically),
- then ended up at Citizen Agency wanting to comment on Tinkerbell and maintaining your mojo about my total lack of enthusiasm for one operating system over another (which surprised me). More surprising was that Citizen Agency had closed comments on this post - I didn’t think that anyone closed comments anymore (after only five comments, anyhow).
- Seeing as this commentstorming session is about Australian blogs, I returned to Adelaide Green Porridge Cafe and commented on Colin’s post on Kevin Andrews (picking him up on some inappropriate French),
- had a bit of a laugh at 101 uses for a John Howard and commented on the Splayd post, and called it a night.
Have you tried commentstorming?

Hi Matt,
I needed a name for it - “ethical comment spam” didn’t quite sell the concept in the way I intended to use it myself
Cheers, Andrew
