| Posted: 15 Oct 2010 10:00 AM PDT  What I find most interesting about Happy Cog’s new system of commenting is not the twitter commenting, but rather the ability to easily add your response in the form of a weblog post. Aside from the fact that I hate the ugly word blog and much prefer the term weblog, I think this is a very interesting invitation to easily link your thoughts through the long form of a weblog post.
I know people are thrilled to use Twitter to make comments — that in itself is an interesting experiment. My interest is to see how many people will write weblog posts as responses. Will there be more weblog posts because of the ease of this new commenting system? Looking briefly through the huge comment stream, I found these really nice, long form, weblog posts: Joshua Taylor digs deep into the subject, John Rainsford mentions that it might be better than inline comments, Christopher Cashdollar also supports the long form, and lastly, Thibaut Sailly makes good suggestions about weighing weblog posts more than tweets, more than RTs. Will there be more long form or will tweeting kill it? (being a wiki person, I look forward to testing this easy linking feature to a wiki page!)        |
