Comments + their owner’s copyright is an interesting one.

Personally, I think comments on a site become the site’s property.

[...] Comment fragmentation, as it is called, has a lot of people talking on blogs and Twitter and FriendFeed. The fear is that commenting on blogs is dead or at least 2/3 dead. [...]

Yeah, well I claim the color orange to be dead!

What does that mean? Who knows. Saying blog comments are dead is nothing more than a grab at attention/traffic. It’s a short sighted and fairly foolish statement that doesn’t seem to mean anything.

Let’s recap – FriendFeed for Scoble yields more conversation on some posts from his blog comments. Yeah. Well, considering the blog post where he claimed blog comments are dead (whatever the hell that means) generated a bunch of comments seems to kill whatever theory he was trying to push.

I don’t think blog comments are dead, either. Honestly, I think FriendFeed comments could be cool if somehow all the fragments were put back together and tied to the original post, but so far that hasn’t happened.

hey david,
definitely agree with you that comments are not dead. they will always attract the kinds of people who can tolerate the occasional chaos of competing voices…but i think that entrepreneurs are now figuring out more varied ways to get people to engage on a blog. comments on friendfeed are still just that – comments. and they are not the only way that people can interact around content.
