I'll Tell You What's Fair. ⇒

John Gruber responds to an article by Joe Wilcox about the lack of comments on his site. Derek Powazek weighs in. I agree with Powazek: comments shouldn’t be obligatory, but they can certainly be valuable. I enjoy reading the comments here. The thing is, if you aren’t going to make the effort to make sure they aren’t straight up stupid, they will detract from your site. (The article opens with a discussion about Android and the iPhone. It’s pretty funny how much Android changed once the iPhone was announced. It seems pretty clear that they took a lot of inspiration from the iPhone. Before the iPhone was announced it looked like Google was building the next generation of RIM pagers.)
This is a post from my link log: If you click the title of this post you will be taken the web page I am discussing.
A nice response from Wilcox.
