Guestbooks are a thing of the past. Let them fade away.

Now I am beginning to see how old guestbooks are. Not necessarily a bad thing for me since I’ve only had my websites for a few years. This year (around March) I transformed one of them into a blog, and -finally- people are starting to use the comments option! It’s so much better, since they can specify their opinion or thanks to a particular post or page, instead of just saying “I was here”. Thanks for the video Chris!

I think they still have value for sites which talk about one single topic – such as a band site. For sites (such as this one) which discusses a huge variety of topics, a comments section related to individual posts is far more useful than a general “we love Chris” guestbook!

I set a guestbook up for one of my favourite bands here:
http://www.themodsband.com/index.php?option=com_easybook&Itemid=38
I think that’s the right way to go for them, as commenting about a particular gig being fantastic on that gig’s page is not possible – we have them automatically disappear off the site when the date of the gig has passed, only to be recycled and updated when the gig is next on at the same venue.

Yeah in the early days I remember signing and even installing a guestbook on an early site but I thing guestbook and personal web pages were just frustrated sites who really wanted to be blogs.

I don’t sign guestbooks at hotels and stores, let alone websites. I do leave comments though, haha.

I think guestbooks all around are just outdated and probably are a waste of time. Nowadays with cookies and sites like mybloglog, when surfers come across my blog it will show their avatar at the footer of my site. Seems like the future of guestbooks are more like an automated display of recent visitors.
