Your comments always impress me - generally they’re better than the original content. Anthony left an amazing one on my latest post on influence:

Mate you’ve made my morning. I’ve said for years I’m a professional blog commenter. Finally I get the kudos I deserve.

I’m trying to improve my blog commentability. It’s my goal in the coming weeks. We shall see how things play out.

It’s a tough thing. I call them participatory posts. You need that critical mass of audience that “gets it” then you’ll be right. But you don’t want the Darren Rowse style fan base that just post gushing “we love” comments. Unlike my comments at chartreuse(beta) by me wanting him to be my life coach. That’s different.

HAH! I didn’t know who Darren Rowse was, but a quick google search revealed his blog, and a quick scan of the comments produced a number of “amazing insight!”, “great advice!”, etc. He’s a rock star.

How you think when the economic crisis will end? I wish to make statistics of independent opinions!

Welcome to the conversation.

Hi, I'm Fraser and this is my personal site where I write about the things I'm interested in: start-up strategy, the web, music, and life.

My days are spent commercializing emerging technologies. Currently I'm helping to deliver the promise of semantic web to the consumer market at AdaptiveBlue. Previously I was at Trivaris, a Canadian seed stage investment firm.

I am a co-founder of Innovation Night, a community driven event supporting entrepreneurship in Canadian and US cities.

Here's what I'm doing right now:
