In keeping with my insatiable appetite for new toys, I’ve added two new features to this site, both of which relate to commenting.
First I’ve added threading so that if you want to reply to a particular comment then it should become part of that conversation as opposed to a general comment river.
Second I’ve added in Seesmic video commenting. Many will know I was an early Seesmic user and know founder Loic LeMeur personally. I first saw this implemented over at TechCrunch earlier today and it is attracting a good amount of attention. It seems to be an obvious addition to the blog, let’s see how many people feel brave enough to use it.
Instructions for setting up your site to use the Seesmic plug-in, which currently only works with WordPress blogs, can be found on this page. They’re all straightforward. The only thing you need is a Seesmic account. That’s free. If you need an access code then you can select from this list on GoogleDocs and Spreadsheets. Anyone can amend the document. All I ask is that if you take an access code that you update the document accordingly.
