Title: Re/code kills comments: I have something to say Post by: HCK on November 22, 2014, 03:00:24 am Re/code kills comments: I have something to say
<article> <section class="page"> <p> Earlier this week, Re/code’s Walt Mossberg and Kara Swisher announced that the site was doing away with comments (http://recode.net/2014/11/20/a-note-to-recode-readers/)—the idea being that social media is now so prevalent that those who wish to air their views can contact writers and editors via Twitter and Facebook.</p><p> I’m not entirely sold on their reasoning, as I would hardly welcome being splattered with reader comments in a Twitter stream that I largely use for my personal pleasure, nor do I believe that 140 characters is enough to express complex ideas. And while Facebook is an option, I believe there’s some value in comments appended directly to the article they address rather than abstracted on a Facebook page that others may never read.</p><p class="jumpTag"><a href="/article/2850379/re-code-kills-comments-i-have-something-to-say.html#jump">To read this article in full or to leave a comment, please click here[/url]</p></section></article> Source: Re/code kills comments: I have something to say (http://www.macworld.com/article/2850379/re-code-kills-comments-i-have-something-to-say.html#tk.rss_all) |
