Interaction is important to any content site. Although comments system is an old Internet application, it is still the main way to interact. I however fail to motivate myself to leave a comment on a blog entry as much as I may be inclined to do so. I also think that written comments can be less articulate and unable to convey the intended opinion. Not all are able to write with ease. Speech is far more powerful and articulate.

So let us have some application like Snapvine integrated with Wordpress and Movable Type. All voice comments will of course need moderating but that should not be a problem (if it is part of your work!!!!). Leaving voice comments would be convenient especially for mobile Internet users. It is very difficult to type on mobiles and other handhelds, especially if your fingers cut a bunch-of-bananas figure.
