Hey ya'll. I just made a comment, so I thought I'd write a whole article while I wait for it to actually post to the site.
I was thinking about the process of commenting, and why even after a year on this site I still find one of the most important aspects of it to be a challenge.
First off, it's clear that there are tools that I'm missing in the fight to keep current with the authors I'm most interested in. At current I use Streemian for auto posting, but it's the only feature of it that I've really explored. Maybe there's something there that could help?
Right now, by the time I get to a post I feel like commenting on it feels like an eon has passed. Hours, if not whole days. Many times it feels like by the time I'm ready to contribute, the conversation is over and everyone has moved on. How in the world does a guy strike while the iron is hot? Is there a tool for this, or do you simply have to resign yourself to checking your feed almost obsessively? In light of the design changes, this makes me think that a way to be notified when certain authors posted or might not be a bad idea.
Or if not that, then something. Commenting is a lot about timing, I'm beginning to realize. But it can be hard to time things when you've got a hundred people posting to your feed (and just about all of us do if you've been on the site longer than a few months).
At any rate, I keep stopping in the middle of this post to attempt commenting elsewhere, so maybe I should just go do that. But seriously, what's the best way to approach commenting on this site?
Don't forget to upvote, comment, and resteem!
