Hi C

 

Social media is ego-centric and people can tell their friends what they think about an article and not just the news editors in a comments section after an article. We live in an ‘About Me’ world! 

 

If the news channel’s FB feed was below the article it would contain comments about everything else it published and not necessarily be relevant to the article. 

 

Just my thoughts, but there may be a better way of doing it……..

Hello

 

this is picking up from a conversation on another list, but interested to see if anyone here has opinions about it.

I'm very interested that big news communities are closing their comments and having discussions just on twitter and facebook.

 <http://www.niemanlab.org/2015/09/what-happened-after-7-news-sites-got-rid-of-reader-comments/> http://www.niemanlab.org/2015/09/what-happened-after-7-news-sites-got-rid-of-reader-comments/

 

Isn't there a bit more opportunity for integration/engagement though, rather than just having comments elsewhere?

Wouldn't it be a good idea to pull the twitter and facebook conversations back onto the comments section of the blog page?

And add the facility to add to the discussion, but via a twitter / facebook window on the blog?

 

Am I missing something? Is this a bad idea?

What? Why?

 

all contribs much appreciated!

thanks

 

C
