(Quick) Comments

Commenting. Either you post them or you don’t, but they have become a must in any form of updated content (blogs, podcasts, videos). I, personally, am not a big commenter because of the comment Nazis who have decided to be the moderator of what people say. I thought comments were a personal opinion on the content you just read.

To make commenting even easier make it possible to comment from the main page. After you read the post or watch the video you can click the “quick comment” button and I little Ajax comment box appears (mock-up below), where you can give your opinion on what you read or saw.

I could see this become very useful in sites like Digg and Slashdot both of which rely heavily on comments. This would in no way replace the old click, read, and comment, type of commenting, but it would allow the lazy or non-commenting people out there to put in their opinion.
