Comments on Twitter comments?

[scripting]

Yesterday I added a new feature on Scripting News that allows you to directly RT a post from Scripting News on Twitter. What do you think? Will you use it? Does it give you other ideas?

yes. I often have kudos to offer and links to share in response

The next question is how to gather the comments together, other than the #scriptingnews tag in Twitter. The problem for me is that I have to remember to look for the comments, rather than having them come to me. That suggests there should also be an RSS feed of the comments.

This is very clever and useful!

The next question is how to gather the comments together

Maybe count the items in the feed and report that number?

I had a problem using the comment feature yesterday. I was not logged into Twitter at the time. When I clicked on the link, I got a prompt to log into Twitter. The focus then returned to the Scripting News page, and a blank dialog box appeared, along with a dialog which seemed to say it was having problems connecting with Twitter. However, the text was blocked by the blank dialog box. This morning, I decided to log into Twitter on another tab, then switch to Scripting News and attempt to comment. This time, it worked. The blank dialog box from yesterday now appeared as a text box referring to the Scripting News post, and allowed me to post. Just wanted to pass this on....
