Other ideas for valuable comments: 
---Your recommendations for travel, books, movies, speakers, learning products or events;
....your opinions or provocative questions on current events or trends and how they affect our lives;
... insights from some self-development program you've participated in;
.... new research (polls, surveys, tests)
..... predictions about your industry, social changes, or moods in the country or your workplace.

But Don't Confuse Value With Profundity
That's not to say that every time you want to tweet or add a comment on someone's blog post, you have to be so profound as to cause people to grab a pen and capture the thought for posterity. 

Reminding people to be grateful for good health when you've just lost a loved one certainly isn't a new thought. But it serves to remind people to cherish what's important. ...

Telling someone why you enjoyed a movie may not be profound, but may increase his understanding and enjoyment of the movie.... A patriotic post about why you love this country reminds others to be grateful.

Don't let the "value proposition" cause you to hesitate in joining online conversations. As in face-to-face discussions, just try not to bore people with inane comments.

Make sure your online comments carry as much weight as those witty words you work so hard to deliver face to face.
