RSS & Commenting

RSS & Commenting 02/17/2003 12:16 PM

I have this idea for adding commenting information to RSS feeds. This would allow the writers of news aggregators to have forms built into their software where readers could send comments to the site their reading without having to visit the site. Below is an example of what I'm thinking.

<comments:method>XML-RPC</comments:method>
<comments:uri>http://yoursite.com/comments.php</comments:u
ri>
<comments:fields>
 <comments:field value="name" isRequired="true"/>
 <comments:field value="email" isRequired="true"/>
 <comments:field value="url"/>
 <comments:field value="body" isRequired="true"
maxlength="1024"/>
</comments:fields>

Messages could be sent any number of ways, including (in order of my preference): XML-RPC, HTTP-POST, POST, and HTTP-GET. There would have to be a standardized naming of fields. For instance, in the case of the above example, the user is asked to enter their email address. The standard would have to specify a singular name that would be understood to be email address, like email, so that code writers don't have to be sniffing for email addresses if the aggregator program decides to send it as contact instead.

The implementation could be as simple or as complex as the site owner wanted. Error checking in the aggregators could alleviate some headaches on the blog's end. If a site wanted to require registration, they could require a username and password field in the <fields> section above.

Of course, now that people could comment through their aggregators you would need to have a way getting your comments back to the aggregator. This could be done in three ways as I see it.

1. The blog could run a seperate RSS feed containing their comments. Some blogs already do this (Phil Ringnalda, for instance).
2. The RSS Commenting specification could include a method of showing comments inline in current RSS feeds (this would be best, I think).
3. More tech-savvy sites could allow aggregators to set up connections to them (XML-RPC client/server perhaps) and request all the comments for a particular post. I think this method would be more work than neccessary.

Please leave me a comment below or drop me an email and let me know if you think this idea is good, or even if you think it's stupid. Also, if you know of the best way to propose such a thing to the RSS Working Group, let me know. I'm going to write up some more ideas and specifications, maybe even a DTD or Schema.

I spent several hours trying to install James Seng's CAPTCHA comment spam reduction MT hack, but didn't have any luck. Seng isn't answering questions any more about his hack, but apparently (undocumented), it requires a newer version of GD.pm than the antiquated 1.38 version that my webhost, phpwebhosting.com, has installed. I tried convincing my webhost to upgrade their version of GD, but they declined, and when I tried to do a private install, I found so many other packages that also needed upgrading that in the end I gave it up. The problem with comment spam is that I always feel like my site has been defaced, and I wonder why someone would go to all the trouble when I remove the comment spam on a daily basis. I have to remind myself that it isn't anything personal, the spammer hasn't even been to my site, it is just a script. So back to the old Spambad system until MT 3.0 ships. At least it has sharpened by SQL skills, devising a new SQL statement every day to erase the 90 spam comments while keeping the two valid comments. In any case, please feel free to comment again....

I have been getting some negative e-mail on us locking down our commentng system, we now require you to register with Typekey. I want to explain why we had to lock down the comments. I was spending 20 to 30 minutes a day removing spams that contained adult or inappropriate content. The spammers where using commenting programs that would put several 100 comments per spamming run places throughout our 2500 articles. We had a tool to help us clean those comments up but it took entirely to much time.

The new system is enable through a service called Typekey. Once you are registered with Typekey you will be able to post comments on any Movabletype 3.0 or greater webllog. They have a very clear policy that they will not disclose any more information than what you allow in your profile. If you look at my profile you will see that I have opted to allow you to see a variety of information about me. All of that information is OPTIONAL.

No they do require you to divulge a minimal amount of information when you signup but the main point is to verify posters identities. We do not require your e-mail address be posted on the website. This is to keep spam out of your inbox when spammers come harvesting e-mail address's.

I encourage our readers to forward me any concerns you have directly to geek at geeknewscentral.com

The service also provides exclusive, subscriber-only content to its subscribers, as well as the ability to search for content that matches a specific keyword or URL, and return that content in a feed. NewsGator Online Services pricing starts at $5.95/month per user.

Funny error message 04/09/2004 04:02 PM
So I'm reading some science news about John Gottman and Robert Levenson, who have developed a mathematical model to predict with a 80% or higher accuracy rate whether a marriage will last. Interesting stuff: essentially, in marriages that last, positive interactions outnumber negative ones by a 5 to 1 ratio or more, creating a sort of bank of postive feeling to help couples recover from the inevitable arguments. So I want to read an actual paper, but am having no luck on the Gottman Institute web site getting from an abstract page to a paper. After several tries, I click on this abstract and read it, then try to go to the actual journal page. The error message I get is "You have entered a phrase that is too generic. Please try again." What? Running a web site like Zen Haiku, I understand why the link went stale, but that's still an awfully strange error message....
