The effects of kudos

[branchandroot]

Let the record show that, when I link a fic-offering from LJ to my DW, I get no feedback at all. When I link a similar fic-offering from LJ to AO3, I get 3 kudos out of 21 hits. That's a bit over average response rates, normally I get around 1 in 10.

So, my take on a Ticky/Kudo/I-Read-This button on DW posts? Go for it!

Sing it. I am basically all for anything that makes it easier or more likely for people to make their presence known, however they choose to do so.

Reading on DW! Also, to be fair, reading on LJ as well, so it really just comes down to which one I open first (though I try to remember to go to DW entries for commenting, I don't always recall which one I'm on at a given time, and thus my comments are often somewhat scattershot).

I stick in polls on my LJ stories for comments - started doing that before the kudos button on AO3, even. They *dramatically* increase the number of responses. People just don't like to comment, but a kudo-button is something easy and that they like to do. My most recent story? 5 comments, 23 poll responses. (And, okay, AO3 is a bit less - 3 kudos for 143 hits, but still...) I'd say go for it on DW too, and well appreciated!
