Blogger seems to have finally caught up to most other blogging platforms, at least in one feature. Today they added and announced the ability for readers of Blogger-powered blogs to subscribe to the comments via email. This makes it easier for readers to follow a conversation or developing story after they’ve posted a comment without constantly maintaining a tab or window on that particular blog post.

I actually found a way several years ago to simulate this feature for regular readers of my personal blog by creating a Google Group, and sending all comments and new blog posts to the email list, but with this new feature, readers will be able to add themselves to these ad hoc lists by simply checking a box in the comment form when they decide to comment on a particular post.

One caveat to participating Blogger comment conversations: you will need an active Google Account, as Blogger will only send conversation threads to email addresses registered with active Google Accounts.

This headline is comparable to reading "Wonder (finally) Introduces Sliced Bread." Aside from comment tracking, Wordpress and drupal are superior platforms for personalization. Blogger, however, does work well as a simple project tool when using Apps as an office solution.

Blogger发布评论邮件订阅功能... Blogger现在支持通过邮件来订阅评论了。尽管这已是其他Blog系统诸如Wordpress早已拥有的功能。 要订阅评论读者首先要拥有一个Google帐户,因为Blogger只会发送评论到已注册的Google帐户中。不过....

Wordpress is the way to go, or for those stuck on using Blogger than implementing www.cocommenter.com allows you to track all comments whether you left them or they we're left on your site.

"too little... too late" in my opinion. WordPress dominates blogger in just about every way. (At least I think so).
