Do Blogs Need Comment Reels? Yes, and Heres How

Gag The TrollsCommenting on blogs is broken. But what we need is a solution, not an abandonment of the concept. The question comes up every few months, but new social commenting technology means there are better answers now than ever before. Over the last dayMG Siegler, MacStories, and mobile developer Mike Gemellhave all written about choosing the nuclear option and turning off comments entirely on their sites. Their key reasons for doing so seem to be:1. Comment reels are full of trolls, bile, and spam links2. There's no way for popular sites to keep up with comments on old posts3. Comment reels give random people too much visibility and distract from primary contentHere are my proposed solutions to these problems.
