It frequently amazes me how vibrant and diverse the internet (and more specifically, the Web) has become over the last ten years.
A perfect example of the craziness is this discussion about the widely-used heretofore free blogging engine Movable Type.
It's an intense discussion in a multi-user blog about a tool used to create and easily maintain blogs. And although the signal-to-noise ratio isn't yet measurable, it's quite likely that the folks at Six Apart will read the entire page of comments. Better yet, it's also quite possible they'll take many of them to heart.
I just installed the pre-3.0 release of Movable Type on my server, just to see how it works. I was especially interested in the feature that allows readers to comment on what you've written. Anyway, nothing's up as of yet, and I may just end up building a comment-tracking tool from scratch for myself. We'll see.
