Yesterday I posted about comments going through a rebirthing process (Commenting is Dead, Long Live Commenting!).&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;You're right, there will be tools to loop comments back to the original post, but I still think the the ink is in the pool now and we won't be able to go back and siphon it out.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;It may be that we're seeing the beginning of a new way of blogging. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;So far FriendFeed seems the most intelligent conversational medium.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;I do find some of the commenting on a blog fed into FriendFeed to have a different ambiance than on the original post. Could be the people, but I think it's the user interface. It's quick, tight, and although not truly threaded yet, it's easier to collect evey commenters' ideas.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;I'm curious to see how things look in a year. By then we'll know the state of comment fragmentation and how much financial and other impacts it has.</description><dc:creator xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">Phil</dc:creator><pubDate>Wed, 09 Jul 2008 06:45:45 -0000</pubDate></item></channel></rss>
