  • Colin Walker opens up comments

    Hooray! Colin Walker: Colin Devroe’s post was the tipping point (I told you his points were compelling) and I decided it was time to get over myself and look at opening things up again. This is the post Walker is referring to. You can read his follow-up as well. Like me, Walker has opened up…

  • Colin Walker: \”Should replies be posts?\”

    Colin Walker, in a post on whether or not replies to other posts (or, comments) should be their own posts: There has to be a line, a point where a comment is just that and not a reply. It’s a question of semantics but not everyone’s answer to "what is a comment and where does…

  • Ron Chester on Webmentions

    Ron Chester: I have only one reservation about the development of this IndieWeb stuff. While it is in progress, most of these websites have disabled regular comments, if they ever had them. Often there is also no contact information given, or it takes a lot of hunting on their websites to find it. So if…

  • Replies from Micro.blog and oh hai, comments

    If you visit my site at all you may have noticed many of the recent posts have replies showing up on them from Micro.blog. Here is one example post. That is because webmention works pretty well on Micro.blog. However, this is causing me a bit of frustration because it feels as though the conversation about…

  • Push notifications are the new blog comments

    Craig Hockenberry opened the kimono on development of Twitteriffic 5: Personally, I find myself actively disabling notifications in most of the apps I install these days. Notifications are great when used in moderation, but it’s very easy to use them to the point of distraction. Since I read Twitter as free time permits, I don’t…

  • More benefits of turning off comments

    Over four years ago whether a blog should or shouldn’t have comments was a heavily debated topic in the blogging community. Back then I wrote about one possible benefit of disabling comments. One of the benefits I see coming from disabling comments is the number of links you end up getting back to your site.…

  • Regarding blog comments, again

    I’m behind in my reading and even further behind in my writing. Which is why I’m just now finally writing about something I’ve wanted to since earlier this week even though the original post was written in late February. Ugh. Alex Payne, one of the many talented people behind Twitter, recently wrote on his blog…

  • One possible benefit from disabling comments

    There has been an ongoing discussion as to whether or not blogs should always have comments enabled to allow its readers to be part of the conversation. I myself firmly believe that each blog post should be thought of as a starting point of, or a response to, a conversation. Some deal with this issue…
