On the role of comments ...

I’ve been reading a couple of journal entries over the last couple of days about comments and I thought it might be useful to share RedBubble’s perspective (well actually my perspective) on the topic. I think there are two principal benefits to comments on RedBubble: 1. It can provide the creator (photographer, writer, painter etc) with encouragement and affirmation … and we see this encouragement and affirmation as one of the central elements of the site. With positive reinforcement and encouragement we build up each other’s confidence to express our creative talents … and by extension we’re encouraged to expand and explore our creative expression. We’re big believers in the power of positive reinforcement – and we want to help bring creative expression back into the mainstream of our lives (and society more generally). 2. It can help us all appreciate and understand what we are looking at / reading. I often find my appreciation of a work deepens / changes when I read how other people have interpreted it. One of the misconceptions with comments is that they help drive up sales or ‘popularity’. When we looked at the relationship between sales and comments in September last year (see graph below) we found there was no relationship between the number of comments a person makes and the number of sales they make. I’ll try to run the numbers again over the next few weeks – but anecdotally I thinks still holds true. / (The graph shows total sales on the x-axis and to total comments made on the y-axis as at 26 Sep 07 for a selection of some of RB’s top sellers) One of the directions we’d prefer to avoid with commenting is for it to become some sort of competitive sport. In my mind I’d like the RedBubble experience to be about meaningful interactions. For example, when I’m giving comments I try to provide more than just a couple of words – I like to comment on how the work has impacted on me. I might spend five to ten minutes looking at a work before I comment. When someone comments on one of my works I don’t feel the need or requirement to go and comment on one of their works – but I often do them the courtesy of dropping by their work to check it out – and when I feel so moved I make a comment. I think at the end of the day it’s all about enjoying the site … if it ever becomes a burden (e.g. when you feel the need to respond to every single comment) something is not going right. My view is that if it’s not fun – folks will burn out. Anyway … they’re just my thoughts. I’d be interested on your responses / reflections. - Peter

Please visit my Africa Mission Charity Website: / http://www.philadelphia33.org/ / / I was walking from one village to the next, in Remote Nigeria. one of the team noticed this young girl following us for some time. I stopped and spoke to her through an interpretor. We learned that she was 13 years old and caring for three younger Sisters. As she told us here story, I Felt compelled to return to her village. There we met her three younger sisters in the most extreme poverty. Both Parents were dead and no other living relatives. We spoke to the village Chief and the elders who pleaded with us to help the family. We did, as God lead us to and blessed here with clothing, and the following day we sent two of our field workers to meet with her and now they have a small regular income from our mission funds.

©Seth F.Weaver,Sr. 03/27/08. A DigiMix™ work. This is a sort of digital Warhol type work. Asking the question do movie stars ever get confused having to play so many roles, as to which one is the real role? This is a homage to Elizabeth Taylor a great lady of the cinema. Thanks for looking Seth.

I met an Alchemist in Sherwood. An archetypal sorcerer. knowledgable, lovable but a bit scarey. He told me about his old Dragon slaying days and as proof he showed me the baby dragon he had captured. He can be found casting explosions and clouds of smoke during the first week in August at Sherwood Forest near the Major Oak, where he sets up his camp to display his transformative skill.
