Blerp Aims To Turn The Web Into One Big Forum
- ErrantX 17y agoI cant help thinking "cool idea, awful name". Seriously: it has connotations of throwing up on the page (which I guess is what it lets you do, but isnt exactly the nicest metaphor :)) I also cant help thinking that it might well result in "too many users". Forums stay manageable (in terms of the amount of data you have to assimilate / the number of "posts") because the user base is fairly small. Imagine a forum with a million users - and with a fairly small semi-fixed number of threads (static web pages Im thinking here more than blogs etc. where it could work well). The noise is going to be epic and the potential of trolling insane... It isnt clear how they plan to handle that.
