Comments

When there is interest in a set of items or a long item it is nice to just get a feed when a comment or change has been added.

Definitely!
I'm seriously considering putting all of the comments in the atom feed so that somone will see the entire dialogue. Prob with that is just making a comment should not push the item on top of the stream, so it won't ... just change in the text of the item itself. The basic prob is that if you are watching the feed in your newsreader then ideally you will want to see the changes since last you looked. .... hmm how to solve that prob .... hopefully solution will emerge ...

... perhaps a second feed that is item+comments since last viewed ... but am not aware of where i get that "last viewed" date.

... suppose you are reading feed from bloglines. hmmm ... ok ... the "updated date" i put in the feed would just be the date of the last comment. Once you read that feed at bloglines, then bloglines will not show you that item again, even if it is in the feed it gets from me, unless the "updated" date has been bumped up. Hmm ... i think that is it.

So we have two feeds:
Now how is that for thinking out loud.
So we have two feeds:
- the main feed that where the "updated" date is updated when the item itself changes
- a second feed where the "updated" date changes to be the date of the last comment that was added.

So here is the proposed solution: two feeds

So here is the proposed solution: two feeds
- The main item feed. shows all comments on the item when the feed was requested. Updated when the item is edited if author opts to push it on top.
- Comments only feed. Date of update is the date the comment was updated. We will have comment-permalinks and that will be the link from bloglines on the comment. When you take that link, fastblogit will show all comments past that in highlight.

"last viewed" = since you last got that feed
"last viewed" = since you last got that feed
Seth says
... yes, and "last viewed" is not something that the system normally knows .. it is between you and your newsreader

Actually when you are viewing your own group (your cookie group) at fastblogit, i could know the last time your viewd it and highlight comments beyond that point. All that is necessary is me stroing the last time you viewed your group in your cookie.
Actually i think it would be obnoxious to highlight all the comments past last view. Better to highlight only the first comment past that time. People can imply in their mind that everyting past that point has not been seen by you.

I think the problem is mostly with long items with lots of comments. perhaps a different shading on the background would work - somewhat like the background of the item itself.

Comments are FIFO - could make them LIFO and shade to grey when you get to "old" ones.
