Ok

a little Yorkie talk research

I have a topic running on here that has been VIEWED over 500 times, with only 50 or so comments, many of which are my own....therefore, there is a LOT of lurking going on on here, and my data show that less than 10% of the people who view a topic take the time to comment in it.

Just a little FYI

I am guilty!

You got me on that one. I do a lot of lurking - sometimes twice a day I log on just to see what is going on. I am still looking for my little furbutt so I am doing a lot of reading and researching. At this rate is going to be like when I had my daughter - nine months of waiting, reading, excitement and don't forget a case of the nerves!

Don't hate me because I lurk! I am doing it for the sake of my future furbutt.

I read alot more than I post even though I do post alot. Alot of those views could be guest views and they cant post

Princes mom · 11-01-2009, 06:26 AM

Guilty!

RoscoesMommy42 · 11-01-2009, 06:36 AM

I am guilty of doing that sometimes too!

Misti1 · 11-01-2009, 06:39 AM

LOL

Yeah babes....there are so lurkers on here, and where as I can somewhat understand that on a controversial issue racked board....come on ,we're just yorkie owners.

Sometimes I keep checking back on a thread that I've commented on to see what other people say. So you figure, if everyone does that, that's a lot of views. ?

loveyorks · 11-01-2009, 06:49 AM

Also guilty as charged. I'm on here twice or so a day as well and just enjoy reading what everyone has to say without really want to add anything.!!

Yeah, I've noticed this too!

There is a possibolity that maybe they just don't have anything to say regarding the post they are lurking at.

Juliealfies mum · 11-01-2009, 08:27 AM

Guilty as charged as sometimes look but dont comment, if I dont have anything to add or if I dont want to get drawn into a debate .

Me too. don't we all?

MauiGirl · 11-01-2009, 09:04 AM

Don't we all read more than post? I think that is normal. Much of what I read I feel I don't have anything valuable to add to the thread, so I move on. With limited time, I'm usually speed reading anyway.
