Twitter, Reblog, and Email Comments

Twitter, Reblog, and Email Comments (archived)

The commenter gets the freedom to speak publicly, but with relative anonymity; the author gets to control every pixel of content on their site, and be relieved of the burden of policing spam comments.

The ways that you can comment even when an author doesn’t provide you a comment form.

What I particularly like about this is that then, when you use these other means, you own your comments. If you leave comments on someone’s blog, they own it.

So, I get to show only the content I want to on my site, and everyone else gets to own their comments.
