The new comment system is cool. Also the way you use your twitter is interesting, I already suscribed to the rss feed.

あれ? free stuff?
Nothing is for free! I’m sure they’ll write something about payback in the next post!

Well, look at that, tofugu is EXPANDING, even though I don’t have facebook, I think it’s good for you guys. Love the new comment system.

Oops. My post gave the impression you are free to assign multiple points to one comment. This is not the case. You are free to assign one point or take away a point per comment.

Points are an indicator of how many people approve of your comment. Each comment starts off with 1 point. Anyone that is registered is free to give or take points to comments posted. Usually you'll give points to someone if you find their post funny, informative, etc. Inversely, if someone is being an idiot or a troll, then you are encourage to take away a point from their comment.

The points you get from your peers is then summed up and listed on your profile. This is an indicator of your overall reputation.

You can give or take points by clicking on the up/down arrows to the left of the commenter's profile picture. Up assigns +1 point, down assigns -1 point. Fairly simple.

We encourage that people use this feature with some restraint. Assigning points freely defeats the purpose of having the system.

Also, comments can also be organized by "Hot" or "Best", which is dependent on the point system.

What’s with the points? Do they count the times we comment?

How pretty!

I didn't know you could do that sort of thing with facebook, but I joined. And myspace is for whores...but I'm willing to dumb myself down and have an account for a couple of friends who refuse other sites.

I'll have to check twitter out...I'm not really sure how it would work. I mean I know you just explained but I obviously need a dictionary for things. (It's just prolly cause I've never even heard of it.)

pffft, iphone.
