Great comment and speaks highly of HN for highlighting it as something worthy of note.
I think all comments, everywhere, deserve their own proper URL. Any takers?
- snprbob86 17y agoI think that is the idea behind http://www.backtype.com/ http://www.backtype.com/
- javanix 17y agoI'm not sure "deserve" is the right word, considering the amount of thought that goes into most of them.
- sho 17y agoHm, maybe I chose the wrong word. I meant that since comments are a discrete piece of information, I think they should have unique URLs, not just anchor tags or, worse, nothing. I really like how this site enables linking directly to an individual comment - I've used that functionality many times to point friends at one I've found particularly insightful. And who knows, maybe having their direct linkability emphasised in this way will act to increase the quality.
