Reply by email instead...
Since I set up this blog on Pika I created a contact page, this one here, which I really am starting to love. When I blogged directly from MicroBlog there was a plugin for “reply by email” also. But I’ve gotten much more action since I’ve been on Pika. The point being though, I am really loving the interactions that are starting to take place.
The idea of starting a conversation over email, inspired by a blog post is wonderful! I am finding myself trying to reply to anyone who has this as an option instead of replying to maybe the social post where I intially saw it. I find the interaction much more enjoyable, and keeping the conversation semi private is nice also.
Not to mention the random replys I have started getting from my own blog. It really does put a smile on my face when I see a nice bolded new email from a friend or a stranger. I enjoy both reading and replying imensly.
I’m not going to say this is going to replace social media, but I can have a hell of a good time with the browser, my email client, and rss reader. It’s a wonderful world out there.
Cheers!
