- eibrahim 18y agoThanks. I really wish people would comment on the actual blog, so that others can benefit.
- fallentimes 18y agoPeople do here. Fred Wilson often says the same thing as if the Hacker News community should comment on his blog instead of on HN. You could always provide a link to the Hacker News discussion :).
- eibrahim 18y agoDone. I added a link to the HN comments in the post.
- brandnewlow 18y agoYou know, someone should really, really make a widget that a blogger could add to the bottom of their posts that automatically picks up the HN submission link for that post and displays the current number of comments on HN. HN is "stealing" the conversation. And that's just the way it is. But surely someone could create a little JS that would help bloggers point readers over to where the conversation's actually happening.
- mattmaroon 18y agoOr just syncs them. It's funny how many times a person will manually leave the same comment both here and on my blog. That would be an awesome feature for Disqus.
- whacked_new 18y agoHN isn't stealing the conversation, nor is there any reason for the OP to request, expect, or wish that the comments here are actually posted there. If this was a YouTube video, man, you'd want nothing to do with those comments. In either case, the comments originate from whatever place hosts the discussion. It's like thinking window should go into the store. But that's not what they're doing -- they're window shopping.
- brandnewlow 18y agoWe've got trackbacks and tweetbacks. This widget would give you "hack backs." People write stuff for a variety of reasons, but often because they want to say stuff and have people respond to it. This guy wrote something and people are responding to it someplace other than the forum he created for the discussion. That's fine and all, but it sucks for him. I get that. A little widget that at least says the post's on HN and has 14 comments, would be really useful. I send my journalism buddies over here all the time to read what you guys have to say about media/industry news. Would be neat to be able to branch that out a bit.
- johns 18y agoIt doesn't suck for him. He should be happy people are responding AT ALL and that he's aware of where it is so he can participate.
- johns 18y agoI don't think blog comments and the discussion here are equivalent. When you comment here, you're talking to the same people every time. People you "know", people with reputations and existing viewpoints you're already familiar with. There's a context greater than the article. When you comment on a blog, you're talking to who knows who, who knows when. Conversations here also last. Commenting on a blog is hit and run, check it if your diligent. I follow up on my HN threads throughout the day and beyond.
- pclark 18y agoa super cool startup uses super cool services.
- fallentimes 18y agoWe're kind of forced to use Comcast :(, but they've actually been excellent. They were awful for me when I lived in DC.
