  I'm having a hard time coming up with a beautiful intuitive layout with 2 columns — I think most blogs would look somewhat odd if the comment field was split in 2 columns? And if you don't use columns, but show the most recent comment in a box above other comments? Then a variant of the original problem appears? — The most recent comment is visible at the top of the comment section (in the most-recent-comments box) and gets most upvotes / attention. (If you cannot upvote it, people will feel annoyed?) Also, showing the most recent comments first, rather than genuinely-interesting-comments, somewhat wastes people's time? Anyway I think it's a good idea (although hard to implement?) and I've thought about something similar a bit too.
