Bloggers should be involved in conversations, but those conversations can take place
between” blogs, as in linking, or off blogs, as in e-mails.

Comments can be useful, but it’s silly to say that you have to have comments in an age of comment spam.

Instapundit doesn’t have comments enabled – does that mean he’s not a blogger?

It all depends on your audience. Ignore the people who demand you have to blog their way. Most aren’t interested in using blogs for business. They want it to be a happy free for all of transparency and light, which sounds nice, but won’t help businesses communicate with the right audiences.

Stick to your guns – and tell you what – we’ll have a conversation about it between our blogs – me linking you, you linking back.

Tada! Social media at its finest.
