Web 2.0 and blogging is about interaction between a website owner and its users / readership.

I have been extremely pleased that so many readers have felt welcome enough to post comments on here; even disagreeing with me at times [despite my elevation this year to being an "authority on search in the UK!"] Those that know me well, know that I firmly believe in a good argument [or did I mean debate?]

Nothing will change or move forward without conflict; how we manage the process is all that matters.

So I have decided to list my favourite comments from 2009.

5. Daryl Toogood’s list of suggested SAR books [complete with links to Amazon ]

4. Johnnie Walker’s take on SAR Hovercraft

3. Simon Rose’s comment on Staffs SAR winning £50,000

and I can’t choose between the two top comments of 2009 so

Jt 1st. Chris Curry’s detailed comment on the Missing Persons Taskforce

and Chris Squire’s [WHO?] comment on the Search for Dr David Kelly [the best laugh I've had in ages.]

One final mention in dispatches for Jamie Reading who did so well with the Dartmoor Exercise!
