google news comment

Google News is experimenting with a new feature that allows readers to add comments to news stories, which in turn lets “[other] users to find out the story behind a story and to know exactly what the people in the news think about the news.”

Unlike the way you comment on this blog (and many others), Google News requires you to send your comment to their email address, news-comments@google.com, along with a link to the story you are commenting on, your contact details (name, title, and organization), and a way to verify your email address.

You can learn more about the feature here.

I wonder what’s the brain-power load average of this feature.
