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.
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.
Time-based comments
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.

Avatar icons appear in the overview
