Europe's favourite think tank blog
Written by Alex Singleton   
Tuesday, 24 April 2007
The GI Blog is now Europe's favourite think tank blog. We've been steadily gaining readers over the past two years since the blog was started, and we're read by people at the European Commission, the WTO, the World Bank, DFID, the OECD, and at all the major broadcast and print media establishments. It's noticeable that the comments feature is increasingly popular. One of our entries from last week has racked up 46 comments so far, which is a lot for a think tank blog. So thanks for reading, and if you have any thoughts on how we can improve the blog, feel free to drop us a line.

  I'm glad to see the comments facility back in use. A bit of interactivity makes things much more appealing to read.

  How about adding trackbacks?

Alex Singleton (GI) said:

  I'm unkeen on trackbacks. Part of the problem is that outside of the geek world, people generally understand what they are. They send emails saying that they can understand how to use the comments facility, but what are they supposed to do with the trackback facility. Trackbacks encourage spam and many blogs can't send them anyway, so a trackbacks feature gives an imcomplete picture of what other sites are discussing your work. Moreover, sites like Technorati and Blogpulse really do what trackbacks are supposed to do but more more comprehensively.

  Another thing I'm glad about is the RSS feed for the comments facility. I have Thunderbird on my Gnome desktop setup to tell me about new comments on blogules that I've commented on.
