About a week ago I wrote about Blog Participation. That particular post received quite a bit of activity(for this site) and the general consensus was that the main reason people don’t leave comments as much as they might like is because they get all of thier content via RSS.
To that I propose this idea … Who’s to say an RSS feed can’t contain a form? Or perhaps have the feed contain the XMLRPC URL and have builtin commenting via XMLRPC in the feed reader? The XMLRPC idea might open up even more doors for blog spam which no one wants, but perhaps that is a problem that could be addressed.
I know I would absolutely love the ability to send a comment to a blog from a feed reader. I don’t believe that XMLRPC comes with that functionality currently but it couldn’t be to hard to write in there if it’s not. Even if it won’t work that way, you could just include the URL that would be needed to post a comment in the RSS feed and have the functionality builtin to the feed reader to take advantage of that. Anyone else have an opinion on this?
