On furthering blog conversation

One of the obvious benefits of this blog has been the strong discussion in the comments section of each post.  Often comments go on and on, long after a post has been created.  It is in these comments where ideas are shared and the pulse of our profession is truly felt.  However, blogs have long suffered from comments that are difficult to follow once a long list of comments exist. 

To that end, we've upgraded our commenting feature to incorporate those features that make a discussion board great.  Namely, it is now possible to have threaded comments and choose to reply directly to any of the comments, or post a new comment in a different direction. 

We're using Disqus, which also allows users to create a profile where your comments become more than an isolated thought on a single blog, but a networking tool, and a way to carry your professional branding from one blog to another.  This is truly an upgrade to the blog and we're looking forward to even more enriching conversations.  Leave a comment on this post to try it out and let us know what you think!
