I leave far more comments on Friendfeed than I ever do on blogs. Reason: it's centralized!
I can't wait for Disqus to pull FriendFeed comments on a blog item back into the blog. Daniel Ha said they're working on it. - Dewald Pretorius
Steve, you're right. After most people start using RSS the commenting features of the blogs are used less. Friendfeed centralizeses my friend's traffic and makes it easy to follow different posts and respond quick. - Ansgar Wollnik from twhirl
Hurray Steve Hurray! 522 comments u have now - Scoble has at least 2000 : ) Beat him in next two weeks ; ) - Erhan Erdogan
@Ansgar: True! Additionally it's just the kind of filter I needed. I don't have time to read thousands of blog posts in my RSS reader a day. Blog posts my friends commented on or liked are likely to be sufficient. - Benedikt Koehler
I also feel the need to make a more well thought out and complete thought when commenting on blog posts, but maybe that's just because of the size of the text box in twhirl... - Jake (aka Jawee) from twhirl
I would have to agree about having your comments be more well thought out on the blog. It just seems easier and more fun to comment on FriendFeed. - Rishabh Mishra (p248)
your feedreader and webbrowser is centralized as well - but it is a faster process here, like a feedreader with built in commenting and easy access due to similar css for every 'entry' - Nicole Simon
"webbrowser centralized" what? sorry, Nicole, but that doesn't make sense - Marcel Weiß
Commenting on blogs is easy. Commenting in FriendFeed is VERY VERY easy. That's the difference. - Ontario Emperor
@possible248 , Steve -- as a blog post is more of a thoughtful, time-consuming effort than an FF post, I tend to respond in kind when I comment on a blog. One tends to want to comment in proportion to the thoughtfulness behind the post. Hmm I said the same thing twice. So frikkin thoughtful I am. - Marko Bon
Reason 2 - we can read and LIKE / COMMENT on your comments... meta, meta FTW! - Susan Beebe
The only thing I find approaching the ease of commenting on a thread in friendfeed is leaving a comment on a disqus-enabled blog. That definitely makes me think! - Phil Glockner
Phil: Right on!! - Susan Beebe
Since FF comes to me via Twhirl, it's more of a conversation environment...everything wrapped up in a single window. I hit blogs for deeper content. That said, I will comment a blog link in FF instead of the blog if that's where the conversation is at....if a comment is made and no one reads it...was it made? - Marc Vermut from twhirl
google reader (or any rss reader) should allow us to centralize all of the comments that we leave on blogs and follow those threads as well. It would encourage more commenting as ff does. - paisano from twhirl
actually, with gReader (I think they haven't released the Firefox 3 version), you can leave comments from your Google Reader directly on Disqus, which is pretty cool. - xavier vespa
and it's ajaxy easy - anna
I've pretty much quit commenting on blogs. It seems quaint. FF is where the conversation is now. - Tad, Anti-Immanentizer
sure! ...but ff is decentralized centralized - or was it centralized decentralized? ;) - Dieter Schwarz
So true. - Russellreno
Same here...without a doubt. - Chris Rossini
Also no log-ins, typekey, or the hell of Captcha verifications! Makes commenting what it should be - fast and easy. - Steve Isaacs
Bang on the money. As soon as we see more of these comments show up back on the person blog, I'll never leave FF :) - CannonGod from twhirl
I've often thought that I'd rather leave a comment on a page that has the most comments, rather than the first page I find via Google. For example, I really liked the play "Top Girls," and I wanted to add to the conversation surrounding that play. A google-search will not point me to that place. My big-idea (that day ;) was "a search engine that points you toward the place where the most conversation is happening." Could something like this be developed, or does it exist already? - Marko Bon
I hate being censored on someone's blog. in friendfeed if someone edits me out... chances are the conversation thread won't make sense. I wish I could substitute friendfeed for the comments on my blog... I know it is possible... but I haven't gotten it working yet - NoahDavidSimon
