We pause for 10 minutes, and when we return, the class asks questions or makes comments, to which Professor Jutras responds. Then the comments come in, and a conversation takes place. But it’s only ever got two participants: the original commenter and the blogger. I see this seminar as a blog.

The site does not resolve on smart-phone browsers, and if they sell products online, their e-commerce platform has no social functionality (no review functionality, no commenting functionality, etc). In general, there are no visible calls to action to engage with social channels and little if any interactive assets.

They don’t read 20 blog posts and comments. I blog and comment too, however; 1. The thing is that Google has a great memory, but people are forgiving.

I have earlier written about comment fragmentation and why it matters from an article author’s perspective. FriendFeed specifically is troubling.

I guess it’s assumed in social spaces that when s/he initiates the friend request, you can comment on anything on their Facebook wall or tweet back at them about something personal or even comment on a photo. Unless the comments are not appropriate, no offense should be taken at all by the other person.

This is not a regular practice on the social news giant, and unfortunately, that is probably the biggest thing causing its downfall. As a side point, Google is a bigger beast and it has tens or hundreds of staff members visiting forums and moderating groups to ensure that the user experience is a good one. Time will only tell.
