Blogger comments

ByMike McBride Reading Time: 1 minute

I was just over reading Mike Sanders’ blog, and the comments therein when I realized that both of the commenters, when I hovered over their names, instead of being the URL for their site, it was a link to their Blogger profile. Then, when I clicked the “leave a comment” link the page that was brought up told me that “This blog does not allow anonymous comments” but that I would be posting as ‘Mike’, which I assume means that my blogger profile would allow me to go ahead and comment. So now we’re going to have a bunch of blogger-powered blogs that require you to have a blogger profile to leave comments on, and we are on the verge of needing a TypeKey profile to leave comments on a number of Movable Type blogs. Where does it end? At what point does it just become too damn hard to make sure you’re registered or profiled and you just stop commenting, ever?

By the way, commenting here requires nothing. You can leave all the anonymous comments you want!

    This week is shaping up to be as good as last week. Our Positni filters redirected hundreds of copies of the Sober virus into our quarantine over the weekend. I’m glad they all got detected and redirected but all of those emails in the quarantine means it takes me longer to go through and make…

  • Spam fighting

    See, sometimes Microsoft has a good idea . By limiting the number of messages you can send with a free email account, they cut off all those spammers using hotmail accounts to send spam. That would be a good thing, and the 100 messages per day should be plenty for normal users. Really, if you…

    Yeah I finally gave in and created a Cafepress store, so now you can actually buy the logo on a tshirt or coffee mug, or a few other things. There’s the logo above, and there’s another GIF that has some various statements I actually hear in the course of doing my job. (The shirts come…
