Not a single comment on that great blog post. Where is the discussion? In a vibrant community like Hacker News.

Facebook has something valuable... we've already logged in, so there's no barrier to making a comment that is voiced from our own identity. Fewer clicks, no barriers, and boom - the comment is public.

But Hacker News does that for me, since I have a long-lasting cookie that I don't clear... hence this comment... and nothing "social" happening on that blog. Interesting.

My fault, I just approved all the comments I received, even the ones that disagree with me. I'm so happy to have had such a response to this!

Doh! :)

Nice article!
