I am a digital pioneer: I was reading C|Net tonight and ran across this article about Seth Godin's blog and that he doesn't allow comments. Hello? I have been doing that since almost the inception of The Digital Life. But alas, I am not Seth Godin and don't write books orhave high priced public speaking venues. But, I am a digital dude who doesn't allow comments, so that says something.

The reason that he doesn't allow posts are somewhat similar to mine, but I have a much greater reason. He states that it takes too much time to reply and think about all the comments, and that if he allows comments he will start writing differently in anticipation of the commentors. Great idea, but my main reason was much more simplier. I don't allow comments because I care for you. I tried the comment thing for a short time (I think it was something like a week) but I started getting comments like "Try my hot new babe site" or "Viagra available here!". So I shut it off because I don't want the readers of my posts (both of you) to have to be bothered with that kind of stuff.

So, Seth Godin may have millions of dollars and a great book series, but I think that I may have been first with the "one way blogging" idea.
