in Delicious 2.0: Who bookmarks any more? on Mathew's comments
I also bookmark a lot and rarely go back, but I use Delicious as my own search archive. I know if I found something interesting, I go back to my Delicious account and look. I also only bookmark if a site doesn't have an RSS feed. If a site has an RSS feed and goes into my reader, I'm very likely to be back again multiple times.

in Video comments: Actually not so bad on Mathew's comments
I like the option of video replies. If we were only given the option to do video and NOT text, that would drastically reduce the amount of conversation a blog would get. Providing video replies as one option is nice.

I don't buy the argument that it disrupts conversation flow. I took a look at the long thread at A VC and it was easy to scan and play video clips if I chose to. I didn' t have to play them at all if I didn't want to and still could follow the conversation easily.

I also don't buy the argument that video = rambling. Text does not mean the reply will be a better value. Either can provide value to the conversation or be completely useless.

mathewi I think you're right, Guin -- no one is forcing anyone to make (or
watch) a video comment. But some people might actually feel more
comfortable expressing themselves in video rather than text. And as
you point out, text comments can be long and rambling and poorly
focused as well. I don't see video as an option being that huge a deal
really.

Thanks for the congrats Matthew! But, the real pats on the back belong to Tessa Sproule. It was her idea and she waded through all the approvals, I simply helped and was happy to be involved with such a great project.
