Toby is looking for some ideas on what folks are seeking from the blogosphere in 2006. What do we want to see 'more of' and what could we do with 'less of'. Here are my thoughts:

1. I'd like to see more people move beyond 'blogging' and reach deeper to the 'metaphors' that blogging represents like customer-to-corporatation (read: people-to-people) connection and the role blogging plays in the participant economy.

2. I'd like to see less uncivil blogging. People starting blogs just to trash companies or trash other people. If you can't say something to someone's face, you shouldn't see it on a blog.

3. Let's see more bloggers realize that they are part of changing the world as we know it, even if only in some small way in a little corner of the world. Online conversation is a beautiful thing.

What are your thoughts on what you'd like to see more of and less of in the 2006 blogosphere?

Contact Toby with your thoughts.

I agree, the blogs that allow comments are always better to me.
