Subscribe Feed (RSS)Do readers want interaction?
April 14th, 2009 by Mike | Filed under Online Publications.An interesting experiment is going on at Electronics Weekly, where they’ve tried using polls to generate more interaction with the readers of their blogs. The question “what is your favourite blog” only attracted 5 responses in two weeks for Electro-Ramblings, whereas the question “what will succeed silicon” had attracted an impressive 91 responses for Mannerisms at the time of writing this post.
From my point of view it seems pretty clear that engineers are very happy to provide their opinions on technical issues, but are less interested in the more self-serving “what do you like about our site” questions. Whatever the case, if David Manners can continue to generate such good response to polls, the results could become news stories.
