Conversational Index: Enough About Me, What About You?

Stowe Boyd's Conversational Index says that all successful blogs have more comments and trackbacks than they have posts.

Sigh, there's an exception to every rule. But lurkers would grow in number in non-consumer, non-tech blogs...there have to be at least five of those, right? lol
