Commenting or Retweeting?

It's a mystery... Why would anyone want to comment on a blogpost? Pffffttttt...

I mean there's twitter and facebook comments and even the "like" button! What's with having to click on the blurp on the top right corner of the post and comment on what you feel about the blogpost you just read, right?

Oh well truthfully I'm guilty of the same thing, I read cause I like to read but commenting hmmm... Though, I'm going to be contradicting myself here--it's always nice to have a few comments, it's like words of encouragement you know?

Like how the other day I was just reading through some really touching translated tweets/comments on facebook regarding the Japan quake and how the Japanese people handled the situation, how they helped one another come through. I realized that as people speak out, it's always encouraging to read about what they feel about certain things. Makes blogging all the more real, all the more fun and well interacting.

So tell me, what are some of your reasons for not commenting on blogs? Too many comments? Too tired to think of something to say? Too confusing? Or maybe it's just easier to retweet?

Wait, I think I'm guilty of the last item I just listed...
