This is really the only trick. People love to talk about themselves.
As the saying goes: "Interested people are interesting."
- rustynails 12y agoI find the people who interest me the most are those whose view differs from others but is well thought out. If everyone listened but did not talk, the world would be a boring place. I'm a fringe dweller at HN. Someone mentioned relevant conversation and that's very true. I find some great things on HN that make me think. I used to frequent Ars Technica, but it became too sexist, so I now frequent a variety of non-mainstream sites for varying views of the world. I'm lucky enough to have very interesting and diverse friends off the Internet.
