Building the Yes-And Web: â€œFirst thing we do, is Kill (some of) the Commentsâ€

Britt Blaser (no name on his blog, so I’m guessing) has a
proposal for making comments on blogs better connected with the content
they refer to, and a suggestion that bloggers and blog developers build

others are doing. Oh, and he suggest moderating or otherwise demoting comments that don’t contribute to the conversation.
