I came across two blog posts that were responding to blog posts of my own.\n\nRobin Sloan wrote a post clarifying his position after I linked to him in my post about the slipperiness of the term \u201cAI\u201d.\n\nThen Jim Nielsen wrote a deliciously satirical piece in response to my pithy little parable about research.\n\nI love it when this happens!\n\nElizabeth Spiers recently wrote a piece called What Made Blogging Different?:\n\n\n  And if they wanted to respond to you, they had to do it on their own blog, and link back. The effect of this was that there were few equivalents of the worst aspects of social media that broke through.\n\n\nIt\u2019s so true. I feel like a response from someone\u2019s own website is exponentially more valuable than a response on Bluesky, Mastodon, Instagram, or any other social media platform.\n\nDon\u2019t get me wrong: I absolutely love the way that Brid.gy will send those social-media responses right back here to my own site in the form of webmentions. It also pings me whenever someone likes or shares a post of mine. But I\u2019ve noticed that I\u2019m not that interested in those anymore.\n\nMaybe those low-investment actions were carried over from the old days of Twitter just because that\u2019s the way things were always done, without us really asking whether they serve much purpose.\n\nRight now I accept these likes and shares as webmentions. I display a tally of each kind of response under my posts. But I\u2019m not sure why I\u2019m doing it. I don\u2019t particularly care about these numbers. I\u2019m pretty sure no one else cares either.\n\nIf I cared, then they\u2019d be vanity metrics. As it is they\u2019re more like zombie metrics. I should probably just put them out of their misery.",
