		<description>[...] TechCrunch has put up a rather interesting article about whether blogs that don&#8217;t allow user comments are in fact true blogs. &#8230;The current definitions of “blog” in most dictionaries don’t mention reader comments at all when defining the term. Wikipedia says only that “the ability for readers to leave comments in an interactive format is an important part of many blogs.” According to these sources, the minimum requirement for a web site to be a blog is that it have content, and that it be sorted in reverse chronological order.

		<description>I posted in more depth on my own blog, but as I can't figure out why I your trackback URL (which was the same as the post URL) doesn't work with my Haloscan account, I'm commenting here. 

If the point is to have a productive conversation, then comments aren't the best choice as they're mostly monologues rather than a real dialogue. By reading (via RSS, trackback, etc.) other blogs, doing some thinking, and posting afterwards, our conversation will be much a more productive conversation than what is seen in comment sections. My guess is that the comment section is more for socializing, which is fine if that's the main purpose. But to limit blogs to one form of conversation seems rather limited, don't you think?</description>

		<description>[...] : LATER: Michael Arrington, among others, criticize Daylife&#8217;s lack of RSS and interactivity. No disagreement. Nature of a startup: some things get onto the boat at launch, others hitch the next ride. RSS was one of the last features to get delayed until a later release; it&#8217;s coming. I had subscribed to various of the test feeds and got addicted quickly, so I, too, am eager for them to come out. Interactivity is an interesting question for a platform: Is the use of the platform on sites everywhere a rich form of interactivity itself? What is the best form of interactivity on the site: comments or contributions? (This is a corollary to Arrington&#8217;s question the other day about whether a blog is a blog without comments&#8230;. My own answer is that a blog is a blog if it is involved in a conversation via links or comments.) So I don&#8217;t think the answer about interactivity is necessarily as obvious as it may at first appear. But the bottom line of a beta remains: There are lots of good things in the pipeline but at some point, you need to get the platform and product out so people can use it and show you what it can and should be. That&#8217;s where Daylife is today. So all this feedback and more is incredibly valuable. And that will be even truer as the full API is released and other sites show us what they want and need and what they can invent around the data Daylife provides. So please do keep clicking, commenting, criticizing, wishing. [...]</description>

		<description>[...] That&#8217;s my side of it. But Annoyed&#8217;s comment raises a more interesting point. Can you be a serious blogger if you don&#8217;t respond to comments adequately? Maybe not, but I think there are no rules on this one. Seth Godin writes a very popular and well-regarded (not always the same thing) blog. He doesn&#8217;t allow any comments on the blog. Period. His explanation is here. TechCrunch has an interesting post and discussion on whether a blog must have comments. The sense I get is that there are no rules, just guidelines. [...]</description>

		<description>[...] No comments? No blog.   Avevo una bella idea di post da scrivere, per commentare questo sondaggio di Michael Arrington su Techcrunch. Ora vedo che Marco Montemagno scrive su Sky Tg24 una bella panoramica sulla questione con cui mi trovo d&#8217;accordo. Io sono ancora un po&#8217; timida nel dispensare commenti, ma sono comunque un&#8217;importantissima risorsa per un blog. Qualche giorno fa ho fatto la mia brava votazione e mi sono schierata nella posizione pi&#249; estrema (no comments? no blog!) ma ammetto un margine di errore. Per me, il fatto pi&#249; rilevante &#232; che i commenti abilitano, offrono la potenzialit&#224; di completare, controbattere, segnalare. Ovviamente, tutte queste azioni di approfondimento possono essere svolte anche attraverso il trackback, per dirne una. Ma se pensiamo a un feedback semplice a cui pu&#242; accedere anche il meno scaltro dei lettori occasionali e senza blog, per me i commenti restano la migliore rete di sicurezza. Abilitare l&#8217;utente a esprimersi &#232; solo un primo passo, vero, e i commenti vanno letti e coltivati: si tratta di un&#8217;occasione, basta scegliere se coglierla, oppure no. Alla base di questi discorsi il mio approccio &#232; comunque molto aperto alle impronte personali dei blogger padroni di casa, solo che si cerca di capire quali siano le opportunit&#224; da non perdere.     Blog&#160;(23.47)&#160; [...]</description>

		<description>[...] Michael Arrington seems to think so in his latest, What Is The Definition Of A Blog? I believe the term “blog” means more than an online journal. I believe a blog is a conversation. People go to blogs to read AND write, not just consume. We’ve allowed comments here on TechCrunch since it started. At times, user comments can be painful to deal with. But they also keep the writer honest, and make the content vastly more interesting. [...]</description>
