How do you handle various comment formats? Some blogs support HTML comments, some want Markdown etc. So for one thing, as a fav.or.it user I’d love it if the comment form could say what format is expected. And also, when my comment is shown inline after being posted, that formatting should perhaps be applied (or stripped).

It seems to me that assuming a subset of HTML unless another mark-up method is mentioned by the comment form might be Good Enough. Then again, accuracy might be too low.

I’d be interested to hear how you handle formats, if at all.

Sameer, it is possible to treat slices as single feeds, and therefore we may at a later date allow some form of hierarchy of slices, so that you can organise them just how some more ‘technical’ users do already using bloglines/google reader.

I am not sure how the Categorical cloud of the blogosphere approach will work out though. On one hand, it gives me this quick access to news that I want; but on the other I know people who like to keep their reading list highly organized and selective.

Best wishes for your site though, I feel the single interface approach is going to be a big facilitator for online conversations.

And, I had to put this in, puhlease give me a beta!

Am I reading this correctly, of did I miss something? Also, a couple questions come to mind. Are templates to be used? Can you put advertising on this blog?

All in all, sounds like a solid concept. I will be watching this closely.
