There is a significant nuance: blogs are most likely indexed by google. Comments are invisible. So blogs are generating much more noise, obstructing an access to information much more dramatically than even a 5000-strong comments thread could ever do.
- teach 12y agoComments are most certainly indexed by Google. They are not usually ranked highly. And crappy blogs are also indexed and not ranked very highly. Both generate comparable "noise", except that there are a lot more comments.
- sklogic 12y agoThen why, when I search for a solution to a specific problem (e.g., googling for an error message, etc.), I most likely land in some blog full of ramblings with no solution whatsoever? And often the real solution is hidden somewhere in comments on SE, never listed in any sane google query.
