Interesting thread on Threadwatch about what makes a person continue to read a blog, or unsubscribe.

“Ad Age and Vizu Answers conducted a new study on blog readership. 67.3% of the respondents follow links to learn about new blogs. What is more blog readers rely upon recommendations on blogs (22.9%) more highly than simply finding a blog via a search engine (19.9%)“.

Hmmm…..

I like:

• Timely, relevant news
• Wit
• Drama/Fights/Action, and all other amusing human traits
• Unique perspective
• Brevity
• Clever Analysis

I dislike:

• Long posts that should have been short posts
• Posts that use the term “I” a lot, especially when I do it
• Bullet points
• Opps
