Comment to 'Community and the New Blog'
  • Just work on having the comment section auto refreshing to show new comments and it will be just fine.  I have live comments working on a Dolphin site; with a few bugs that need to be worked out; like the pagination doesn't work correctly. 

    There is a principle, KISS; keep it simple stupid.

    • Well, apart from naming and some traditional UI conventions, I don't see how "chat" is different from "comments". Essentially either is a conversation within certain context. 

      • Good idea BUT - A Very BIG BUT...

        Lets Say Mr A makes a post and Mr B, Mr C & Mr D comments on your post, then those comments SHOULD NOT work like messenger like you explain in your post. Because if a 1000 people comment you;re phone will go crazy. 

        If ANY MEMBER Reply on a persons comment or (2nd Phase interaction) YES, Then messenger like actions would be nice. Hope you catch my drift here.

        :-) 

        • Well Andrew, beyond the interface, the use is not the same, the chat is a discussion based on spontaneity, comments should be more reflective and more focused on a specific topic. That's why I think the comments do not need to be in real time.
