Commenting in RSS

Russell Beatie is thinking about comments in RSS an idea that I have been kicking around since BlogTalk Downunder and the whole no comments thing, although when don’t post your ideas you really can’t say I had the same idea.

I was thinking of the aggregator showing both the post and the existing comments and then being able to push the comments back to the original blog via the RPC-XML calls so that they appear again in the RSS feeds. This way readers would get notification of comments in the same way as new posts and we can reduce the need to subscribe to comments via email or RSS.

Ok I said less posting but I just could not help myself.

    Shel Holtz (http://blog.holtz.com/) has got a pretty nice implementation of comments and trackbacks now in his RSS feed. It was causing my reader to keep moving the post up every time there was a new comment but that seems sorted now.
