Jeff Atwood posts on Coding Horror about comments – why discussion is an important and essential part of the blog format.
In the past I’ve skipped over comment threads on the web, favoring articles, which I considered to be the “real content.” I’m pretty late on this one, I realize, but I’m discovering now that comments (uh, discussion) are where it’s at. They constitute the conversational aspect of the medium. Y’know, the part where you talk to other people, rather than spilling your thoughts in a criticism-free environment. Hey hey.
