Very impressive advise from JLM and he have highlighted real points about Board of Directors. I think he is impressed by some Google type mentors as they have launched Google Plus against Facebook so we need to have Bored of Directors like Google not Yahoo or Facebook.

Disqus don't seem to be leveraging the content much at all. I know comments alone could be out of context but they should be able to tie it up with blog content

That search feature would sure make it a lot easier to argue on the Internet! Instead of trying to find the same primary sources and phrase your arguments multiple times, you search Disqus for the response you used to a similar comment last time.

You are right Donna. I don't think it matters what system Techcrunch chooses, it comes down to their desire to manage the community there and I don't think they have any desire!

Thanks very much for taking the time to read. JLM gets his own category because:

a) he's awesome
b) The reality is that this blog is likely to be read by me more than anyone else! So I use it as an area to reference things I like.

The funny thing is, I've checked what search phrases have brought people to my blog and I've seen phrases like "who is JLM", "JLM on AVC" so there are evidently people out there whose interest he has piqued.

Funny how “banter” in one venue is “spam” in another.

I'm not an expert in this space, but these sound like great ideas –i.e., sociable and searchable seem to be the themes, primarily.

I'd agree it's technically interesting but the problem is that I was not aware that it was possible. I think anyone using any form of communication system (Facebook, Twitter, Disqus) needs to be fully aware of where their content is going otherwise it breaks the users trust.

I don't think you can just rely on the end user to just understand that their comments can be openly distributed over the net.

This is a good point, actually. The behavior you see on BI is sort of a hack (I think it's cool, personally), though I can see the potential problems if it becomes a real feature.

It's one of the considerations we ran into when designing the concept. It's something we'll need to figure out.
