I know this basic idea has <a href="http://www.commentful.com/">already</a> <a href="http://co.mments.com/">been</a> <a href="http://cocomment.com/">done</a>, but the article delves even deeper into the idea.</p> <p>What really caught my attention, was how I can implement similar concepts directly into Switchboard. The planned external discussions and discussions from feeds features are a great basis for these ideas, and I will be developing them even further, with help from this article.</p> <p>It also highlights how Switchboard could implement some great social networking features and really empower users to control their comments across all Switchboards. For example, Switchboard 2.0 will have a new single login that will work with any and all Switchboards. So you will be able to manage and track your comments/posts across all Switchboards. You can also track other users comments/posts, and rate them.</p> <p>I could go on about the many possibilities of this particular aspect, but I won't. I want at least some surprises for you all. But what do you think? Take a look at the <a href="http://www.techquilashots.com/2007/02/27/idea-29-your-vyous-comments-on-any-webpage/">article</a> and let me know your thoughts.</p> Joel Moss http://tooum.net/switchboard/blog/2305:Social_commenting_with_Switchboard/#comments Tue, 27 Feb 2007 09:40:58 -0700
