		<description><![CDATA[I agree... nature of convo has changed and part of that is because some folks are gaming or trying to game the SocMe system to help themselves. But also, there are just a lot more blogs now. So even if you&#039;re commenting because you want the blogger to know you are there, value their content and want to participate in the convo, you still got to make a living. 

I&#039;ve seen a lot of folks talk about weeding out their RSS feeds... think we&#039;ll see more of that. Just hope some really good, smaller bloggers don&#039;t get lost in the shuffle.
