DISQUS

@Doug You are welcome :)

Saying that some comments should be promoted because they have more value than the rest has interesting and controversial consequences: the same could be said about blog posts, tweets, youtube videos, friendfeed links shared etc. Because, in essence, a comment is just another piece of content.
Where does this all lead? To the unsolvable problem "who decides, what to promote, when and under what authority?". I prefer the imperfect solution of crowds making the decision to the solution of any decisions taken by individuals, all too subjectively .

@James Thanks for the additional info!

@Basilakis Thank you but do not take it as a startup. It is a just a blog.

dimitris@insideabox Many thanks!

I think that the 'move away from the web' is kinda misleading 'cause it means that we were already in the web and we now changed and move away, which, clearly, is not the case.

The hype (and vision) so far was pointing a lot towards the all-web experience but reality is different.

As far as the Wordpress decision is concerned, the recent trend of Adobe Air clients for microblogging services might, IMHO, be the inspiration and the reason behind this decision.

I agree it is all about the community, but isn't true that your true followers will follow wherever you go? I made an experiment myself by opening a plurk account and within 1 day one third of my followers where there too.

@karpidis Κρίμα. Θα σ' άρεσε.

@oneiros I am counting on you.

@simos Με χιόνι και με μερικούς να κατοικούν Θεσ/νικη δεν το βλέπω εφικτό. Άλλωστε, per gustibus et coloribus non est disputandum ;)
