So last November I started a series of blogs that will highlight the top commentors for each month on A Mike Life. The first month of this series had only two guys with over 20 comments each, everyone else had around 10 or less.
December, despite the holidays, really cranked out some serious commenting. Maybe it was the Journeyman final episodes that spurred on the conversation, but whatever it was, the month was thrilling because of it. I live on discussion and talk, so the more we all interact, the more fun I have (and hopefully you all as well).
Scott of Career Waymark wins the award for Top Commentor for December, having 41 total additions to blog posts. Now, I don’t know if he did it on purpose or not, but Cap’n Schwartz finished November with 41 as well. A little healthy competition?
Who will beat out 41 next month? Any takers?
I hear rumors that the Cap’n took a bow this month to let someone else win. I don’t know if he’ll do the same in the new year however.
Now, The Trousered Ape really came out of nowhere after only 10 last month, and he was actually close to catching Scott there at the end.
Here is how the top 10 rounded out, with some links to some of their blog posts I enjoyed last month.
- Scott (41) - Blog highlight: “Assigned Reading: The 4-hour Work Week.“
- The Trousered Ape (36) - Blog highlight: “What hope does he bring?“
- Cap’n Schwartz (29) - Not a blogger, but he sends me tons of links for research.
- Jason A Clark (23) - Blog Highlight: “Blockbuster continues pissing off customers.“
- Jina (14) - My wife, not a blogger…yet.
- Adrian (13) - One of the best SEO guys around, but no blog yet. Come on Adrian, get going on that!
- Steven (12) - Blog Highlight: “Top 15 Comic Book Movies.“
- Donald Case (11) - Blog Highlight: “What to read? Replay, Journeyman joined at the hip.“
- Frank C (10) - Blog Highlight: “Top 10 Dark Science Fiction Movies.“
- R.A. Porter (8) - Blog Highlight: “Ensign Crusher vs. Captain Kirk.“
Thank you to everyone for being a part of this site and I look forward to getting to know you all, and hopefully some new people in 2008 and the month of January!
Not sure I can do better than 41 comments in a month, but I’m willing to try. Either way it’s always fun.
Scott’s last blog post..Words of wisom
Mike, I like you and all, but I’m not even sure I made 41 comments to my WIFE last month! 41 comments is like a short story or novella or something.
I think maybe I can do 31…one a day…that sounds about right. I’m off to a good start. Happy New Years, man!
Jason A Clark’s last blog post..Um, Dude, Where You Been?
You guys know I’m kidding of course, besides, if you can’t do it, the Cap’n can…you know that much as least
Happy New Year to you too Jason, and get back to blogging my friend!
2nd place is equal to the 1st place loser - so at least I came in first in some category!
Good blog Mike - keep up the good work on it. I wish I had more time to dedicate to mine. I suppose for now I will live vicariously through yours.
