I'm not advocating for open commenting! That would be a lot of extra work for all of us. Social media is easy, but many community members won't comment because they don't use their real names on-wiki.

Are we still planning to resocialize this story? We've still only had the two posts (one each for Twitter/Facebook).

I believe that we're tracking likes and shares now, Alex, but it's hard to gauge community participation. The Signpost, for instance, gets plenty of comments because it's on-wiki and everyone has an account there. Perhaps the requirement for a WordPress account is too high a bar?

Spam is a real issue with stuff like this, and I think social media allows for easy enough commenting?

Glad to see the post shared! Love it!

It occurs to me as someone who has written several blog posts, and supported several others: I am always dis-appointed a bit on the number of comments on the blog post itself: but it seems that a lot of the commenting/visibility will happen elsewhere. Is there a way to surface both page views on the blog alongside number of likes/retweets, etc. I think it would be great to get a sense of scale for community participation in reading/hearing the stories on the platform itself (and maybe provide a different incentive structure/invitation for participating in the blog, by marking shares/retweets, etc as valid responses to the post). 

Cheers,

James- agreed. At the least, we need to push out two or more for Twitter—I think it's an underutilized resource.

@Michael, can you post some of these tomorrow? Joe will be on a plane over the Atlantic Ocean.
