In about 2007 or so my brother and I used to find super obscure blogs with no comments, read them and then write detailed responses to the author and share it with our friends. We always kept it positive, and said encouraging things. Most of the time the posts had been written in the 90s or early 2000s. We just did it knowing that probably one or two people would get notified of a new comment and maybe feel happy that someone read their post.

Cool! I have done that myself a time or two.

Ever get a good response back?

I have been surprised a time or two ending up in a conversation with someone who took the time same as I did. Just because we could.

I think "blogs" as in "web logs" with features like comments (trackbacks and linkbacks came later) only appeared around 2000 or 2001.

But still, plenty of blog posts from early 2000s to comment on in 2007, especially on the likes of LiveJournal or Blogger.

I think I am going to start doing that =D.

I wonder what keywords or tricks I might use to find such blogs in the current days.
