The "drag makes you stupid" story has attracted a lot, but after reading the research, I am in favor of blog comments

There was something a bit ridiculous in the way I passed the "test drive makes you stupid" story on the Web these days: people complained about the superficiality of discussion Online unconditionally retweeting something they thought agree with. HORN irony that children say.

research behind this story - a document explores the effect of "incivility online" in the perception of new technologies for the newspaper computer-mediated communication - not even published. Has made news with a brief mention in an article also briefly commented. This goes against the usual trend of science journalism, which tends to indicate that when the research was peer-reviewed and published. research could be behind a paywall, difficult to understood without specialized training and may not even be directly linked to the journalist, but the idea is that you could read if you want.

This story subverted this model, and unfortunately not in a way that science has tried the most effective. He ignored the will of the readers need to connect investigation in detail, this just proves the superficiality of contemporary knowledge consumption is critical.

raised an interesting debate, however. The anthropologist John Hawks concluded that "business information sites can be the worst way to communicate science, because its policies affect the understanding of science Comment." I'm not sure I'd go that far, but I agree that it is worthwhile to consider the variety of forms of political commentary, cultures and technologies could improve, including simply removing the possibility of comment on everything.

When the Royal Society of blogs launched in 2010, does not allow comments. The decision seemed a little retro, a little too defensive. But maybe they were just before the hour. Frustrated could not comment, I wrote an article pick up one of their posts on my own blog. It has resulted in a rich comment thread, including the entry of some members of the Royal Society and several other highly qualified voice. It has also led to a commission to write an article for a magazine of political science the most influential load Discussion pub, Twitter and some stupid fights at breakfast with my roommate. Commenting is not stopped if the comments are disabled. Simply move.
