blather
just_what_inspires_people_to_click_my_name
User24 when looking down a blathe, what factors influence blatherskites to see what else a particular blatherskite has blathed?

Will you, for instance, in sheer overwhelming curiosity click my name now?

Or, in defiance of an obvious ploy, will you deliberately NOT click my name?

Either way, I accurately predicted what you did.

Bizzar I dont think its the username in all cases. I know for me, Ill click someone's name if I like a particular blathe theyve done, thinking maybe Ill like other things they have to say.

I hope people click my name :-)

User24 I click mine al the time, too.

I think that's one of the dangers of blather; because you have a distinct personality, you (or at least, I) become absorbed in who said what about what I said. I've been making a conscious effort of take a gander and blather randomly lately.

sabbie Will you, for instance, in sheer overwhelming curiosity click my name now?
-erm, no. i have lots of curiosity, however, it seems to be distracted at the moment. sorry.

Or, in defiance of an obvious ploy, will you deliberately NOT click my name?
-again, no. im afriad i just dont care enough to click your name and find out what other blathes you might have contrubuted too.

Either way, I accurately predicted what you did.
-again, no. actually, im off to cook dinner. my last blathe_action will be to press the blather button and then log out.

you didnt predict that others might ignor the two options you offered and instead climb out the window to a third.

i'd get that crystal ball seen to if i was you.

User24 there are no options options but to click, or not click, my name. you didn't, I predicted that you wouldn't.

Had you clicked my name, I would have also predicted that, having given the exhaustive list of options above, and stating that everyone will do one of the above.

Doing both would be possible were I talking in past, present or future tense, however, I was speaking in perfect tense, hence doing both is impossible.
