Rethinking Blog Comments
There was a time when the tools to publish online weren’t as plentiful as they are today. When everyone didn’t have a Weblog, Twitter, Facebook, etc. It was this strange, dark time when commenting first appeared.
Projects like Disqus and CoComment are trying to improve commenting – but I feel they’re still assuming we don’t already have a publication. We do. Lots of them.
Last night, Tom Elko and I dug into this topic for 2 hours and came out with some very interesting insight around re-thinking blog comments and Cullect’s current capabilities. All started from a very brief email he sent last week:
“I’ve been thinking, Culld and Cullect’s feature to publish a link with a comment to apps is probably the smartest commenting system out there for content based websites. A long thread after a post is fine, if you can get it…a discussion about the item on a reader’s social-network is waaaay better.” – Tom Elko
