#FF00AA


17 mar. 2004

Posted elsewhere, about Movable Type 3.0’s upcoming TypeKey feature:

“Centralized authentication service”, as in “Everyone will have to register on typekey.com before they can post comments on most Movable Type weblogs”? This is a really weird idea.

If TypeKey really is what it sounds like (and I checked, Six Apart did buy typekey.com), am I the only one who thinks it looks like MT is trying to pull a Microsoft on blogs? I had already read complaints about their support for Atom instead of RSS…

I’m sure there are many other solutions to fight comment spam, without centralizing stuff. Things don’t get done this way on the Internet.

Want to know when I post new content to my blog? It's a simple as registering for free to an RSS aggregator (Feedly, NewsBlur, Inoreader, …) and adding www.ff00aa.com to your feeds (or www.garoo.net if you want to subscribe to all my topics). We don't need newsletters, and we don't need Twitter; RSS still exists.

Strictement rien à voir, mais les commentaires, là, dans la colonne, à droite, même pas en face des posts, bah, étrange, quoi. Non ?

C'est space.
Tout cela pour empêcher l'orgie de commentaires sur les blogs ? Ah.
Mais cela ne va s'appliquer qu'aux blogs Movable Type donc à priori on en a pas grand chose à fouetter. (surtout pour toi qui as ton propre serveur)

garoo, 8 years ago:

Pas pour empêcher l'orgie de commentaires, mais pour empêcher les commentaires de spam. Tous les blogs Movable Type, ayant les mêmes URL de scripts pour les commentaires, se retrouvent inondés de spam (souvent porno, je crois, comme toujours), qui sert à faire monter les sites correspondants dans Google.

En tant que blogueur, ça ne me concerne pas, mais en tant que lecteur, si.
