Shoot Me An Email

One thing that came up in the recent discussions about comments that turned into a tangent in my mind is how email fits into the picture. If people have thoughts about a blog post they can share with the author by email (and two people did just that with my last post). There are some advantages to this. First of all is that both parties almost certainly already have email accounts, as opposed to the ever shifting list of social media platforms and chat apps to contact people with. Moreover, any email service that’s worthwhile is going to have spam filtering measures built in. Over here in static site world, being able to take advantage of that by just posting an address rather than complicating the website is a very attractive proposition.
