Really enjoyed reading the comments. As a writer with a blog, I like comments, even the ones that are just "great post" still give me feedback someone looked at it! Yes, there are page view statistics but stats are cold When I'm reading blogs, I have to admit I don't leave a comment unless I think I can add something to the discussion (uh oh, do what I say, not what I DO, I guess!).
It seems like some of the basic elements of the form, such as comments, have been stuck in a model that doesn't work very well to encourage quality responses and also doesn't fit the way people do things socially online these days. Oddly, a blog comment isn't even as good a social object as a photo.
