Any good post does not wait to be on top of the popularity chart, but of course anticipate knowing what people think about it. Hence, we denote comments as “Valuable Material”. Such comments are not only a social action, but also serve the purpose adding more importance to the post. In fact, you can be a good commenter by talking and engaging in discussions on your and various blogs across Web 2.0.
