parrots!

You know what I hate most about reading blog comments? Most of the commenters are just parrots. Whatever the blogger says, the commenter will merely rephrase and repeat what they've said. They don't seem to have any opinion of their own or anything interesting to add.

If the blogger writes: I bought this new pink hairclip for my darling daughter. My daughter loved it so much she wouldn't let go of it. She loves everything pink. (shows picture of the lalakid)

Commenter 1: Yes, so nice! Your daughter looks so cute in the photo!

Commenter 2: So sweet, iLike!

Commenter 3: The pink hairclip looks very nice on your little model!

Commenter 4: I also like, I also want one, hahaha.

DUH! and double duh!

Talk about parrots and boring meaningless comments. Either:

  • they don't have the vocab - everything is "nice", "cute", "okay", that's it
  • they don't have any opinion and try too hard to be agreeable, or
  • they go completely offtrack!
Don't believe me? Go read some local blogs (if you can find any in decent English, that is) and read the comments to a few posts. You will definitely see a pattern there. YAWN!
