DISQUS

"Twitter guys showed up briefly before lunch."

Really good that they showed up at all. But I have to confess that the word "briefly" made me think of the late night talk show practice of Really Huge Celebrities who never stay around to sit on the couch during other guests' appearances.

Jon Udell has a good way of describing this idea. I heard it in one of his podcasts recorded shortly after he joined Microsoft. I’m not quoting it exactly but he talked about how InfoWorld stories were a process, with reader conversation up front and afterwards, with a particularly well-baked part of the process (the published story) in the middle.

Good idea: stick a pitchfork in it and see if it's done.

A little alliteration goes a long way.

Let the metaphors roll. May I please me the little broken pinecomb washed up in the river bank?

Thanks, Mike. I'll see if I can figure out how to do that.

This is neat. It doesn't seem able to discover a feed if the site URL is anything more than just a domain name?
