Blog Review: Breaking the 4th wall

Interaction is key to longevity of any relationship. I think special things happen when a reader interacts with writers directly commenting on their works. Readers are encouraged to come back and share more when writers acknowledge comments. Writers are encouraged to keep writing and are given inspiration from time to time by readers comments. All parties feed off the excitement of sharing ideas and trying novel things.

By far Crashtestkitchen has the most comments of the lot for the time frame I have to compare, with kiplog/food in second, and Get Cooking trailing a little way behind the rest. Although the others I think have just as much relevant and helpful material I think that Crashtestkitchen is the only one of the three that is really building a community of interested readers who will comment inteligently and often. Although crashtestkitchen is too new to really compare to the others on an even playing field. In the coming months, should Crashtestkitchen not fold under the pressure of paying for bandwidth, they could become a real cornerstone of the genre of Food Blogs.
