- yes it is a great way for Google news to enhance their content with a real (live) comment from people around the world.
- yes comment will bring a bit of social to such static (ho god) (static in term of interactivity).
Unfortunately, as far as I can tell the entire process still remains slow because it's mired in human authorization.and I can't agree more with him.
it is absurd to ask people to contribute to your content using forms (authenticated one) or email in this new era of tweet and plurk and all the pseudo new named social action.
now let ask why people at Google News haven't delegated the comment role to any existing comment service?
let be more simplistic, why they haven't try to make a twitter channel "#GoogleNewsComment" and then download all the tweet as comment?
I am sure that there are many ways to do, to make it more easy more simple and may be more anonymity.
does Google Hate anonymity ?
no, the answer is beyond this: the answer is in the "content quality", even if they open the door to real people to ordinary people to comment on their life event (news is just a collection of events that happen around the world to real people like you and me", and because it is related to "you and me" we have the right to comment such events.
so, commenting news is a civic right (ho I enjoy civic movement).
so in order to maintain the quality of the content, commenting or any other contribution may and have to be under a sever control they don't want to have LOL comment on any events?
and they don't have enough time to moderate comment.
to resume, they are just offering comment in order to offer the service no more.
they have to think twice about such feature, are they ready to bring the "open content" or no, are they ready to open their content to others? what ever the contribution is!
no they can't.
remember in google logic, content is money.
