Interacting with other authors and commenting on their blogs helps to create a sense of community in several ways; it can help inspire new ideas, create conversations, express feelings and opinions on a topic, and bring life and purpose to writing. Comments are an important part of blogs, (and are almost a duty for bloggers!) If you spend time and thought writing on your blog, wouldn't you want some feedback also?
I decided to fulfill my duty and commented on the following blogs: Clement's Journey Into the 23 Things, Gryffindonald, Weber's Technology Class, Farmer's 23 Things, Abby Smith's 23 Things, Rhodes 23 Things, and Tucker's 23 Things. I wanted to be helpful in my comments while also inspiring further thought and conversation. Hopefully I was successful!
I think you totally nailed it! It's about inspiring each other, giving positive feedback and then people will want to do their best because they have been encouraged to do so.
