Simple Blogging, 25,000 Comments Later

By Brian Tannebaum, Esq.

Last night, Simple Justice author "Surviving" Scott Greenfield announced the 25,000th comment had been posted on his blog.Odd announcement from someone who feigns the hype of numbers in the social media world.But the number, itself, is significant. Not that it's 25,000, but that it's 25,000 comments, written by humans (yes, some spammers) who have touched a keyboard for the purpose of responding to something written about a real issue by a real (lawyer) person.Twenty-five thousand.There will be no love for Scott Greenfield today due to this feat, and let's be clear, it is a feat.
