Any one participating (presuming they were granted rights to do so) could create a new blog, in context, extending the topics explored within an existing blog post. We would not be limited to the blog post/comment/trackback model, now in use.</p> </blockquote> <p>I really like the idea of comments becoming their own blog post and can really expand on that.</p> Joel Moss http://tooum.net/switchboard/blog/2329:Social_commenting_continued/#comments Mon, 12 Mar 2007 09:44:08 -0700
