Is there any official API for retrieving comments? I know theres an ATOM spec for specifying the comment url and sending them but I've not seen one for retrieving them.

If there is one, what are the RSS readers that support it? I've never really got into using an RSS reader because I always want to read the comments, and that means I have to visit the website anyway.

Also I'm using the new Firefox with LiveMarks, which kinda gives me the best of both worlds.

If the idea is to promote rich clients instead of web interfaces that definatly something I would look for.

I'd like a Channel9 rich client, a Slashdot rich client etc, but without resorting to screen scraping.

But part of your whole blog outreach "posts" have been about how commenting is valuable,

One of the things that lifts MS blogs above simple PR fluff is commenting, feedback, the fact that you can * or moan to a person, rather than an anonymous feedback/wishlist email.

As much as your radioland URL is well known, it's been awfully slow recently, and lack of abilities like search (no, Robert, google isn't the same as having a little search box on your site), plus the awful "popup" commenting, maybe it is time to leave.

I read your blog on my Mobile Phone on the train home from work. Its a Nokia 6600 with Opera.
The comment counting javascript never worked on that anyway. It used to show "comments[]" but more recently it has been "comments[0]" even if there were loads of comments.

Thanks Steve.

I think what I'm looking for is Chris Sells <wfw:commentRSS/> tag. That way you get the comments back in the same way as the RSS feed itself.

I've been using XMLSPY a lot recently and I really like the way it shows a graphical representation of an XSD schema. You see an element item of a complextype and you can expand it to see the child elements, and its child elements etc. It makes it really easy to visualise the schema. You can keep expanding nodes in all directions and it never suffers performance wise.

Tree view of content model

Visual Studio tries to do a similar thing but it doesn't look nearly as elegant and gets really slow.

I'd love to see an RSS reader that did a similar thing with Feed->Comments/Trackbacks->Commenters Feed->Comments->.. etc.

So you could visualise the fundamental interconnectedness of all things. Wink

I think this blurs the line between your personal blog and the company sponsored community site.

I can't speak to you using company assets for your personal use, since you've mentioned before that you aren't paid to blog per se, that's something for your boss and bosses boss to work out and doesn't matter to me or anyone not working at Microsoft.  It's not like Microsoft isn't already sponsoring space for employees personal use (e.g. blogs.msdn.com), but creating a thread in a community site for your own use seems a little out of bounds to me. Meaning that it seems odd to me.

Hmm.  Well, the "remember me" on Channel9 works nicely (though looking in the page title to know I'm logged on is still really weird), so it is a little easier to comment here. 

First, I like being able to comment. Trackbacks have to be done by hand from Blogger and that includes finding wherever the trackback link is hidden on your page, something I despair of figuring out right now.  So all this auto-discovery is great, as long as I have a functioning auto-discoverer, which I don't.  So, one of my principles is people should be able to comment manually, just like people should be able to view a page without CSS, JavaScript, or enabling any mobile code.  That contributes to accessibility and also accomodates problems with security settings that might not be under the visitor's control.

So the easiest way to trackback for me is to comment and plant a URL in the comment.  And also, sometimes I'm reading at your site and I just want to comment about something that it doesn't make much sense to blog about -- it would be way out of context in my place instead of at your place where the conversation is situated.  (Right now I'm blog deprived, but that's because I'm being anal about recovering from a breakdown in a way where I have a better way to handle the next breakdown.  So I go on and on because you gave me a place to type ...)

I didn't know comments showed in your feed.  In my NewsGator they don't show up, though a link to comments shows up.  The comments link is a little weird.  For Scoblizer the comments link goes to a crudely-formatted disembodied list that is at a different URL altogether.  Have you had your NewsGator XSL-formatting file customized?

Here's something interesting.  If you hadn't posted about the problem of comments on Scobleizer, I wouldn't have noticed that there is a combined systems-coherence and confirmable-experience situation here.  Your experience of feeds (even your own) is different than mine, and I could have gone on for some time without knowing that.  It makes it tough to consider the usability of a particular approach when it is very difficult to know how different someone else's experience might be, without consideration of their personal preferences and styles at all.  In particular, neither party might notice that something is off, or in discussing it, one end might have no idea what the party at the other end is talking about.  Sometimes, you have to swap screen shots to have a clue.

PS: Finally, comments over here don't work for me.  I don't mean about the propriety of it.  You get to work that out. I mean that the comment lists go nuts and they have no apparent structure at all.  Put another way, there may be a structure, but I haven't come up with a conceptual model for it. Reminds me of when I gave up Ecco (which I never really figured out) for Outlook (which made more sense to me most of the time, though I still want to know why I can't put a follow-up on a note when I can on a message in the same folder). 

AHH!  How about a comments-wiki for Scoble!  Then we can run amok commenting on each other's comments. Heh.

Well, the Channel 9 line is already blurred.  Look at all of us who are not part of the pod that have an identity here. I suppose I could start a thread, as can anyone.

I think topicality handles itself.  I wouldn't worry.

It is interesting that this was a place that provided a side channel while a problem about web logging elsewhere is sorted out. [;<).

From a Steve on Scoble's comments: This is better than the last one. But without the load speed it is hard to tell... Well, I thought the last one loaded ok on its demo page. I just can't find it anymore because -- surprise-surprise -- the comments are playing up. Anyway, the hassle's still here for people who read your blog in an agg, because we still need to go to your site to leave a comment in a convenient way. Quoth the Scoble -- Personally I think this whole mess is just gonna go away. Everyone of you should have your own blog. If I say something idiotic, you should blog it, link to me. I watch my Technorati page and Feedster and Pubsub too. That's a much better way to comment on something I write. Maybe some of us want to see what others have said too. Time is precious and I'd rather just click one link to see it. This is why I dig the idea of TrackBack, and Textpattern's method of storing and displaying referrers ('mentions') -- people who want to post a comment the good old fashioned way can, while those of us with blogs and so on can just post away and be happy in the knowledge that someone visiting your site will know that we've said something too.

Robert, your new look blog needs a little more color.
The Bliss backround would be real nice. I was there the day they snaped that photo (June 2000), passed them on my bike. I lived in that village for 15 years, was the only one with a computer for most of that time. Now it's even on my pocketPC, you see it everywhere!

If you know of anyone who would like to travel to that spot, let me know. Microsoft should have a contest, "Journey to Bliss", the air there is so sweet and the scenery is superb.

You mean that scenery in the Bliss wallpaper is real?

I just assumed it was all CGI.  Like Rivendell in The Lord of the Rings or something.

And "Bliss" is a village?  Like with a cooper and a blacksmith and dairy wench?  Or is it a planned community, like the one in the TV series "The Prisoner?"  (Be seeing you.) 

I just assumed that with that much manicured lawn, it had to be a golf course.  ("And it's a long par four back to the Redmond campus...")  Either that or the "village" is infested with roving herds of ravenous sheep...

So Microsoft should have a contest to send the "winner" off to some place with no broadband, no WiFi, no Starbucks, no cell phone coverage, and roving herds of ravenous sheep? 

What would second prize be?  TWO trips to this place?

Yes, it's a real place! That "manicured lawn" is a field that had been cut for silage (winter feed for cows) by a big yellow tractor just ten days before.

The old Blacksmiths forge is just down the road, no one there milkes cows anymore but it is the best place for raising calfs.

There is excellent cell phone coverage as there is a big tower on top of a mountain just across the bay.

This is not a village, it's the townland of Baslickane and for coffee we had a Club Med.

Why not just send the Channel9 team there, to shoot a video in Bliss?

LOL eagle, ok, I stand corrected on the cell phone coverage... perhaps I will do a version of the Bliss wallpaper featuring a big cellphone tower.



Can any of our German-speaking friends translate this cartoon for me?

With the help of Babelfish, it looks something like:

"No, I don't know Bill Gates, and the sky is strangely still for me too."

Over here in the Palouse (a mere 300 miles by road from Microsoft) a lot of people assume the shot was taken locally. The rolling hills, the greenery - looks like home (moscow, idaho)

Most Microsofties I talk to also "think" it is in Washington State or maybe Pennsylvania, but I can bring you to Baslickane (bass-la-con) and you will set about looking for the START button.

I tried to run it through "Freetranslation.com" and it said: "No, I know no Bill Gates and the sky comes me also not strangely before".

Funny, I don't think that is quite right.

If you look at the Sample Pictures that come with WindowsXP, that beautiful red sunset was snaped at Raheen very near the Bliss spot. High atop that mountain just where the sun is setting you can just about make out the tower.
