Google News Announces Limited Comments. Blogosphere, Take a Chill Pill.

August 8, 2007

googlenewslogo.pngI love Michael Arrington’s reporting on this… according to TechCrunch, “Google made an announcement of an “experimental new feature - they will soon be allowing comments on Google News stories. Comments will only be accepted from a ’special subset of readers,’ which includes people and organizations who are part of the story. The blogosphere, which is of course all about conversation, seems to think the second coming of Jesus Christ himself is here. An example: normally reserved Tony Hung calls it “pivotal” and that it will ‘change online news as we know it.’”

    Not Jesus Christ, per se — but perhaps, John or Peter, or maybe even James. ;)

    No question that there are issues ahead of Google News Comments, but as I stand by my assertion that this has the potential to be something much more powerful than “just” comments, by combining the reach and cachet of Google, getting major principals involved directly in their side of the story, and better yet, allowing everyone to participate in that conversation.

    If that’s not exciting, what is?

    I agree, Tony. I think we’ve found our news story of the year. I’m embracing the moment.

Got something to say?
