A witty little title Eric and I came up with to describe how comments in blogs tend to agree with the original poster. Between the two of us we labeled hundreds of blog posts to test that idea, and published a paper at HICSS demonstrating most comments do in fact agree with the original post.

Eric even built a model to detect the characteristics of an echo. In anycase, if this entry gets any comments, I’ll delete any negative ones. :)
