Listics

The personal nature of blogging communication bubbles up all steamy.  Robert Scoble, for whom blogging is very much part of the day job, has named his comments section "Mudpit."  Much pig-wrestling has long gone on there, but Scoble must have been having a bad day to re-name the comments.  Why not "Duck pond" and let that mudpit stuff just roll off his back?

Some huge percentage of the comments at Scoble’s is recursive self-referential tripe, the commenters trying to get the blogger’s goat.  But from time to time a thread of really interesting conversation opens up there.  Scoble must have been having a bad day.
