(P.S. I found this via Word to Your Mother, who found it via Shark Bait. Tiburon from Shark Bait even said I could use it. She loves John Mayer too, so you know she's cool.)
She can explain what a blurker is much better than I can, so I am borrowing her words too: (I'm sure she won't mind as long as you go check her blog out.)I hereby proclaim that September 22nd, 2008 shall be Blurker Amnesty Day. You are probably saying to yourself - "Self, what is Blurker Amnesty Day?" Well this is the day that all blurkers can (and hopefully will) comment and make their presence known without penalty. You may even be saying to yourself - "Self, what is a blurker?" To answer you again, oh inquisitive one - a blurker is a blog lurker. Someone who reads a blog but never posts any comments.Okay, so now's your chance. Come out of hiding. All five of you. Coochie coochie coo! It won't hurt!
So my unobtrusive friend - I am calling you out. In exchange for your comment, you have my solemn promise that I will not stalk you or request a comment from you in the future. Amnesty.
10 people wanted to leave a comment:
There are lots of Blurkers, huh? I wish more people made comments. They do make you feel good. Thanks for your Monday post, btw. It also makes me feel good to be mentioned in other people's blogs.
Blurker. That is one I haven't heard before. :)
Also, just glanced at your Twitter updates and had to laugh that they sustained your husband before he got called. I'll bet that was shocking!
I am not a blurker because I try to comment but I think I must have a lot on my blog because no one ever comments. Or maybe no one reads. That could be a possibility too! I love your twitter that says Christian got sustained before he got called. I would love to hear more about that. I keep thinking what my reaction would be if that happened to me and there are so many fun choices. :)
Well, I'm not a lurker, but I thought I would leave you a comment anyway, so you know you are loved. :)
Never blurked but since you came out of hiding on MY blog - I am going to be alllll over yours.
You may just end up regretting this day... ;)
i'm not a blurker as well, but i am with tib--let's be blogging bff's.
i also like that it says i am beautiful and wonderful--you must be friends with stuart smalley
You caught me!
Great idea. I really hate seeing all those stats of people lurking and not leaving comment love... I always wanna yell: "Hey! Do I stink?"
You SO don't stink. Like your blog. Lots.
I've been a blurker today.. visited many blogs but no comments. Anyway, question.. on your link list of friends, how did you get it to say like when they visited your blog last?
This is my first visit here because I see you de-lurked on my blog (perhaps? or perhaps just visited for the first time?) Anyway, I wanted to thank you for the comments. I look forward to getting to know you better.
You have my word I will never blurk on your blog!
