It isn’t uncommon to see people sharing articles on FriendFeed, including all the images from the post, and then copying the entirety of the text into the comments section. I have earlier written about comment fragmentation and why it matters from an article author’s perspective. FriendFeed specifically is troubling.

Threaded Comments – one of the largest feature missing out on Twitter was the ability to actually respond to someone. Plurk introduced a comment system which helps create a conversational feel. So marking a conversation or message, to be found easily later, should be one of the first features implemented.

The scope of marketing needs to be broadened in view of the new dynamics that have employees, customers and prospects engaged in conversations – horizontally, peer to peer, in some cases even in co-opetition situations. Some communities are very open to marketers being there and contributing to the conversation.
