		<description>Usually, I&#039;m the second type of reader; every now and then I step into the first one. This is the case. And focusing on the last type of reader, we can be thankful for the traffic they generate.</description>

		<description>My comment was based on some of the comments left here on this very post :-) But you do have a point when you say that people these days consume blogs as they consume news.</description>

		<description>Here we go, resurrecting a dead thread - well you did bring it up on Quora :)

To expand on your point about the &#039;silent reader&#039; I don&#039;t think people are that self-concious a rule. It&#039;s a simple fact of life that many people just consume - they treat blogs like they treat news sites or like they treat TV. They just watch, they don&#039;t participate. 99.8% of my readers can&#039;t be that shy!</description>

		<description>&lt;strong&gt;Is it unusual that I&#039;ve had 3000 visits to my blog in its first month and not one person has left a comment?...&lt;/strong&gt;

This is perfectly normal. There was a shift between leaving comments on blogs to make those comments in the form of RTs on Twitter or discussions that pop up on Facebook. I actually wrote a post about this very subject (http://thezargon.org/2010/06/for...</description>
