Don't trust me. Or do. Mitch knows what the heck he's talking about. Since meeting him at the first ever PodCamp, Mitch has been a constant read in my feed reader, a constant source of eyebrow-raising explanations, and a friend that I love collaborating with when we get the chance. <br><br>I love this book and feel it's a great distillation of Mitch's view of the importance of networked individuals.

I can tell you that many people have come back here and subscribed to my feed/email list because I took the time to reach out to them on their slice of the web. Here's my suggestion - first figure out what your goals are. Then, if getting more people to read your blog will help you meet your goals, do a test by commenting for a week and see if you get a spike in traffic and subscriptions. Then you'll know for sure.<br><br>Good luck, and let me know how it goes! Doug – I don't have any hard data for you about commenting on other people's blogs.
