2008-04-05 05:55:00
I recently wrote a post on Read Write Web about how "Blogs Comments Still Matter," which, among other things, highlighted the issue of blogs getting more negative comments than positive ones. In the post, I mentioned the FriendFeed/WordPress plugin, created thanks to the fabulous Glenn. One of the commenters, as it turned out, was ...SHARETHIS.addEntry({ title: "Friday ’s Bitchmeme: Fav.or.it", url: "http://www.sarahintampa.com/sarah/2008/0 4/04/fridays-bitchmeme-favorit.html" });
