ZDNet is reporting that Google has soft-launched public comments on search results: But when I was looking at the results page, I noticed a little comment icon.

It reminds me of an off-comment by Fritjof Capra who said a while back that my work amounts to a complexity approach without the jargon. Roy Christopher on Culture, Computers, and Communities: Two Recent Books Thanks, Thanks, Roy. I

The idea behind TypePad Connect is that they handle all comment management, including spam removal, and basically republish the comments on your blog.
