Talk Less, Read More

1. The audience seems to be men as a majority that are in their late twenties and older. They seem to have a degree of some sort, or at least a level of experience in programming. Just like Attwood, I would assume that audience our computer programmers as well or some sort of computer profession. The way Attwood worded his tips and also through looking at the comments, I came up with this assumption. 2. Jeff Attwood makes a clear statement on how people are failing to communicate properly. Nowadays, people place value what they want to say, rather than thoroughly reading through one’s blog. Attwood encourages bloggers to care about the time a person has read a blog, than the number of post one has made. He strongly suggested that more people should read and do less talking and he demonstrated this by listing 4 tips that other online can do. 3. Attwood started of with a diagram and with that and his reason for the diagram, he has lured me into reading some more especially since I can personally relate to the people he was saying and his reason of people doing more talking, or even just scrolling through without posting and also reading through only 50% of the post, he made me read until the end. His main argument is people spend more time talking than reading, and he encouraged reading. He did this really well by providing a reality example of a blogger’s testing. I enjoy his structure of introducing the topic, giving more information and examples, then concluding it with tips. His four tips were, to remove pagination, display read time than numbers of post, give readers rewards, and updating post in real time.
