Comments on Twitter Comment System
Michael Heilemann posted on Twitter (and his extended thoughts on his site) about using Twitter as your commenting system for your blog. I agree with Michael’s assessment on the state of the blogosphere and lack of commenting etc. However I do not agree with Twitter being the sole form of commenting allowed. The biggest reason being you cannot always express your thoughts in 140 characters or less. Second biggest reason would be that the person would have to use Twitter. I think the best option would be for twitter to provide those old things called linkbacks that were all the rage not to long ago. This could also tie into an idea I read the other day and have bit.ly handle the linkbacks from Twitter.
Some other ideas and thoughts while writing this up. Do people use hashtags in blog posts? I need to make a modification to Twitter Tools to look for hashtags in the post tags and include them in the tweet it sends out.
