Not so much for our sake, but for the sake of the children. http://ayende.com/4354/on-comments-and-social-interaction#comment13http://ayende.com/4354/on-comments-and-social-interaction#comment13Fri, 08 Jan 2010 17:48:43 GMTSenthil commented on On comments and social interaction@ayende, How about a 3rd party commenting platform that allows you to own your data and/or allows you to have our own installation. The reason I bring this up is because the default commenting features of blogging platforms may not solve all commenting /discussion related problems. One size may not fit all.... http://ayende.com/4354/on-comments-and-social-interaction#comment12http://ayende.com/4354/on-comments-and-social-interaction#comment12Fri, 08 Jan 2010 01:16:09 GMTrumburak commented on On comments and social interactionSocial interaction? It only happens when you turn off the computer and talk to real people http://ayende.com/4354/on-comments-and-social-interaction#comment11http://ayende.com/4354/on-comments-and-social-interaction#comment11Thu, 07 Jan 2010 23:37:31 GMTNC commented on On comments and social interaction@Andrew - Noted. What I was meaning to say, was: This blog just lost all credibility by mentioning Joel. http://ayende.com/4354/on-comments-and-social-interaction#comment10http://ayende.com/4354/on-comments-and-social-interaction#comment10Thu, 07 Jan 2010 23:06:56 GMTColin Newell commented on On comments and social interactionThat's not such an irrational fear. I've just been watching a couple of bloggers have to deal with their comment provider shutting down. http://ayende.com/4354/on-comments-and-social-interaction#comment9http://ayende.com/4354/on-comments-and-social-interaction#comment9Thu, 07 Jan 2010 22:55:47 GMTAndrew commented on On comments and social interactionNC, at least proof read your comments if you want to be a douche.

I agree with you and Joel about threaded comments. I think there other ways to improve Subtext comments than adding threading. Ayende, let me know if we can improve comments for you in Subtext. :) http://ayende.com/4354/on-comments-and-social-interaction#comment5http://ayende.com/4354/on-comments-and-social-interaction#comment5Thu, 07 Jan 2010 16:21:30 GMTAndrey Shchekin commented on On comments and social interactionI haven't cared about the technical details, but for Wordpress at least Disqus posts all the comments to the blog as well, so turning off Disqus leaves all comments as is, just not as pretty. http://ayende.com/4354/on-comments-and-social-interaction#comment4http://ayende.com/4354/on-comments-and-social-interaction#comment4Thu, 07 Jan 2010 12:15:34 GMTJeff Bullas commented on On comments and social interactionI especially agree with the the statement " I want to "own" the comments. Not own in terms of copyright, but own in terms of having control of the data itself. Having the comments (a hugely important part of the blog) being managed by a 3rd party which might shut down and take all the comments with it is not acceptable" Its the same as having your blog under your own domain and "owning it" rather than having under wordpress or typepad domain. If you want to move your domain to another host you can.

And the comments on your blog are almost all relevant and build upon each other instead of just saying the same thing over and over again. http://ayende.com/4354/on-comments-and-social-interaction#comment1http://ayende.com/4354/on-comments-and-social-interaction#comment1Thu, 07 Jan 2010 10:09:39 GMT
