Time-based comments

November 14th, 2011

I’ve been digging SoundCloud lately.

Today I noticed time-based comments in their tracks. It’s a bit disorienting to have comments pop up as you’re listening. Maybe after adjusting, there’s a pleasant sense of having a conversation going on around you. Definitely feels like you’ve got company!

Comments pop up as the track plays

Avatars appear below the track to indicate that there are comments, and you can scroll over avatars to read comments. You can also hide the comments if you prefer.

Comments are indicated by avatar icons in the full view.

blog ‘reactions’

November 2nd, 2010

Instead of enabling commenting on your blog, you can let readers ‘react’ by marking the post as ‘funny’, ‘interesting’, or ‘cool’. So far I’ve only seen this on one Blogspot blog, Galway Library’s blog.

Reactions to a blog post

Is this post funny, interesting, or cool?


If you know whether there’s a plugin doing this, or if it’s a general (optional) Blogspot feature, please let me know in the comments.
