Great article, its pretty easy to get lost in all of this social media but I think that Twitter has really proven that its here for the long haul, it will be interesting to see how the service itself progresses with the web.

Testing Facebook Connect login for comments.

And I do believe it works.

Thanks for the comment Shaun.

I don't think there's an ethical issue with blog comments, because, in essence, anything you write online can be fairly readily repurposed and placed elsewhere.

I think there would be an issue if one were trying to monetize people's comments, or deliberately placing discussions into a context that might cause offence - or publicly publishing comments that were made within a private members-only forum.

I agree that having to log in discourages discussion. Is there an ethical issue with rebroadcasting discussions from one forum to somewhere else without telling your participants that is the plan?
