Interesting discussion

In the comments for that last post we’ve been discussing the possibility of adding the comment link into the RSS feed item, so that you could click a link in your aggregator to leave a comment and skip the whole “Going to the site” thing.

Andrew first suggested it, and then he went and figured out how to do it in MT. Pretty impressive.

I played around with Blogger and while I could get an absolute link to the comments, I don’t think Blogger supports adding things inside the XML “item” tags. At least my efforts to move the comments link all wound up with it outside the tag and thus, not part of the feed.

    Yup, I’m knee deep in this ethics policy that we’re working on.

I will say that I…

  • Terrific training discussion

    Kathy Sierra has an interesting post on the Creating Passionate Users blog, about how to get our users past the “P” Mode, a reference to digital cameras. There’s a terrific, if somewhat lengthy, conversation taking place in the comments as well. I’m sure I’ll have something more to say about the idea, but I want…

  • Yes, they really are that stupid

    A TechDirt posting today, linking to this article about the new Bagle variant running around today ponders: “…the anti-virus companies are out hyping up yet another non-event or many people are just clueless. It’s possible (and, perhaps, likely) that both may be true.” Well I’m sure they are hyping it, because they do that. But…
