- Thanks a lot for sharing
- I think this is the dangerous trend we are on that the media only tells people what it wants and attempts to manipulate than allow people to make up their own mines
- It would be nice if we all made our own clothes out of hemp fiber, and used wind power to generate all of our energy, and so on. But that probably isn’t going to happen any time soon either.

I think it's a good idea and also a fair request to invite your community to help monitor those comments that cross the line. In this way, the community self-regulates and that helps to keep the discussion vibrant and on point.

What I do think is needed is a bit more honesty and respect on both sides. Those who are calling for the death of old media need to acknowledge how valuable real journalism can be; and those who are terrified of old media's struggle with the new need to do a bit more embracing.

Open-ended questions are difficult to analyze. Comments are open-ended. Providing "votes" or "ratings" can turn into a popularity contest, even with defined categories.
I predict that as commenting grows in popularity, it will lose any importance as there will be no one to read, and react to, those comments...unless, there is a way to mine useful information from those comments.

I have come to conclude that comment threads created, read, dugg up or down are in themselves valuable if one can somehow harness all that data and make meaningful information out of it. An example. If the sum of my comments around the subject of Bonsai are dugg, voted up, piled-on all across my posts across the Internet, then perhaps I become the recognized expert on Bonsai pruning...next thing you know, someone looking to hire top talent in the field of Bonsai care is going to find me. The challenge, how to harness all that data across tens, hundreds, thousands of comment threads and disparate ways of counting and measuring the data?
Disclaimer - I am no expert in Bonsai care...only in my green dreams. And, I did not notice Cameron's Blog handle before I dreamed up the Bonsai reference...love the irony.
