Comments on: Upcoming Features http://cafe.elharo.com/web/upcoming/ Longer than a blog; shorter than a book Sun, 07 Sep 2008 18:10:31 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.6 By: Elliotte Rusty Harold http://cafe.elharo.com/web/upcoming/#comment-52 Elliotte Rusty Harold Fri, 06 Jan 2006 20:27:35 +0000 http://minicafe.elharo.com/wordpress/web-development/upcoming/#comment-52 I was thinking that one would have to subscribe to a page, and then would recieve all updates to that page in e-mail. I was also thinking that you could add a new comment simply by replying to the e-mail. Perhaps it would also make sense to notify people of replies to their own posts by default.

I assume you mean that when user A comments on Elliotte's entry, and then user B replies to user A, that both user A and Elliotte will receive an email notifying them of this fact. And that when Elliote replies to user B, user B will be notified of that, as will user A (on up the tree). The only blogging comment system I've used that truly seems to do this right is Livejournal. It is great because it keeps conversations going (otherwise they just tend to die out), and has the added benefit of creating an email archive of the conversation. E-mail notification
