Share your thoughts: Packaging Digest posts all comments

POST A COMMENT

Packaging Digest is among the first websites in packaging to let visitors to post comments on almost all of its articles, making it possible for visitors to add facts, opinions, and additional resources to stories on PackagingDigest.com.

“Our goal all along has been to build a strong sense of community among people in this field,” said Packaging Digest new-media editor David Bellm. “A big part of that is sharing ideas and opening lines of communication. When everyone’s voice can be heard, you get a much more complete look at any subject.”

Visitors to the site simply click on one of the POST A COMMENT links at the beginning or end of each story. There’s no registration required. The process is quick, easy, and immediate – comments are visible within minutes of posting them.

And visitors can say pretty much anything they’d like. “Sure, if there’s obscenity or libelous statements, we’d have to edit it,” said Bellm. “But that hasn’t happened even once since we’ve started allowing open comments. We’re getting a rich interaction from visitors, with people posting rebuttals, additional websites, compliments, and just about anything else you could think of. We welcome it all.”
