500 Comments for Straight North, and a Lucky Winner!
On Friday, Word Sell hit a milestone which I think is pretty cool – 500 comments.
Thanks to all my readers and commenters. Comments are what make blogs such a unique and rich form of communication. Blogs are always a team effort, even if there’s only one “author”.
To commemorate the event, I gave my 500th commenter, CB Whittemore, her choice of books from the Straight North Favorite Business Book list. CB’s choice – The Cluetrain Manifesto, submitted by Kenneth W. Davis.
CB’s blog, Flooring The Consumer, talks a lot about … well, flooring the consumer. She looks at things from the customer’s perspective, always the best way for a company to improve.
CB and I connected through Robert Hruzek’s My Home Town group project, a meme we both participated in. Interesting how things work out sometimes!

Hey, congratulations on the milestone! Just goes to show – you never know who you’re going to meet in a dark (blogging) alley!
Congratulations, Brad, and Thank You! I will happily wander into dark [blogging] alleys any day. I’m very glad that My Home Town gave me the opportunity to encounter your blog.
Congratulations Brad! That’s a great milestone.
Comments are indeed the lifeblood of blogging and can lead to so many great conversations – look where a few silly words at the end of a word nerd test has taken us!
