Google News Comments, A Month Later
News September 8th, 2007 - By Haochi
Last month, Google News introduced a new feature that lets users to comment on news stories. Fast forward 31 days, there are only 105 comments posted so far.
I think this is mainly due to the complication of sending comments by email, which requires users to provide a way to verify their identities. Secondly, as I questioned when they initially launched this feature: how are they going to do all these verification process by human?
Oh, it’s actually 104 (as of now) if your sort them by date. :)

not too bad, 105 comments. I mean, it’s not “normal” comments, where you have 200 per story (like in digg)….
it’s more that the story breaker can create a comment afterwards, and therefore I think 105 is actually pretty good and probably it was intended to be this way.
