Epic comment thread. Context: “We’ve determined by looking at our traffic stats that people are doing Google searches for “facebook login” and coming upon RWW. They see the FB Connect button and assume that RWW is the “new Facebook.”“
Firefox extensions which hides the most blatantly idiotic YouTube comments. Favourite filter: Uses Firefox’s in-built dictionary to hide comments with too many spelling mistakes.
Django project to bulk-up the built-in comments to make them less spammable. I did a bunch of this by hand — good to see it implemented in a shareable manner.
Since 99% of what I write here is now in the category of “links” rather than posts, and at the prodding of Mike, I’ve added the ability to comment on links on the site.
Turned out to be about 2 new lines of code and minor templatery tweaks (Thank you Django!)
Go crazy, gang. Feedback-me-do!
HOWTO hook Akismet (the anti-comment-spam service) into Django’s built-in commenting. I think I should have commenting for groovymother live by the weekend.
coComment adds features that actually make it, you know, _useful_. It now tracks all comments left after you or a variety of blogging packages, and the Firefox extension means you don’t have to remember to hit the bookmarklet each time.
Interesting solution to the problem of knowing if anyone’s replied to a comment you’ve left on someone else’s blog.
