Honestly, I couldn\’t disagree more. I would recommend doing some more research before writing about this.

We’ve opted to turn off the comment header for the time being, because while it’s a useful feature (explaining that you can get your profile in the comments by signing up for MyBlogLog), it doubles the layout challenges and it should really be in the native language. So look for it as a configurable option in the future once we’ve got the comment profiles on cruise control.

While I don’t disagree with your conclusions, I think there are a couple of points worth discussing around video commenting. First, I think that good meta-information (including the transcription of the audio) is necessary to ensure that you only watch the video comments you’re interested in. Secondly, from your first point, it sounds like there’s a need for software/hardware (or even an advanced O/S) to manage the video/audio feeds you view/listen to in a convenient manner.

I really like video comments personally, but agree that they need to be implemented in a way that doesn’t disrupt the text-based conversation that is occurring.

Todd, I couldn’t agree more with your take on the nature of video comments — for the most part they create clutter, an inefficient medium (I can read faster than you can talk) and for the most part highly unnecessary. Having just recently registered my seesmic invite, I find the site to be slow in many ways — firstly, browser wide flash is bloated and inefficient — I believe Adobe addressed this when they released their AIR platform. Secondly, the flow of information simply reads much slower than other websites; this is mainly caused by points you highlighted in your post.
