there's something great about seeing daytum updates in friendfeed, where it's waaay out of context and just a number and an item. "3.0 tea" indeed.

I really do love reading comments sections, even the bad ones, to see how an article or a blog post detonates and refracts in the commentary. It’s also kind of Greek-tragic to see a writer trip a wire that you know is going to cost him or her in the comments section; or sometimes it’s kind of cool to see a writer take that chance and try to make a new point anyway, even when commenters are going to drill into X or Y. That drama — among all the players in online journalism — is among the things I turn to the Web for.
