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. Make yourself heard, comment on news, stories and current affair. Jot-down your experiences. BRAVO, PLURK!

In the past few weeks, however, even Digg’s other top users are seeing that Digg is becoming more difficult of a social news site to enjoy, and after stepping away from Digg for awhile, I have some thoughts and reflections on how it was and possibly how it should be. Reddit and Mixx , on the other hand, live on a karma system.

As Tamar pointed out, it’s a social news site, not a network and I could care less about how often profiles are updated. I want to see a description of the article, I want to be able to digg the article or comment immediately and then I want to get out of there, because I’m busy! Is there any?

These are friends who have no direct ties to the industry, but in using social networks, we’ve formed close bonds and friendships. Digg is by far the largest; as a former “top user&# of the service , I built strong relationships with employees and users of the social news site. I know Facebook isn’t it.

The point I try to make here is that Digg will not comment nor at least acknowledge that they’re passing these messages on (even if they aren’t!) A good company leader would actually recognize that a social news network implies that there are participants involved and that the users are the most important part of the service.

My point was mostly to explain that ONLY sharing articles and not engaging at all is a major flaw in the “system&# — and it actually helps users accumulate a lot of additional automated followers. I also want to tip my hat to the way you respond to your blog comments. That’s not the way to do it.

I’ve seen similar issues with news outlets, especially those with postings that are authored by multiple writers. If you’re the admin of the Facebook Page but want to comment on a posted article, you can only do so as the Page owner, not as an actual participant in the conversation.
