As a counterpoint, I dislike any blog that links back to HN for discussion.

It’s not a playground for everyone’s blogs to use, and there is no guarantee an article will be posted at all - unless the author resorts to systematically posting his own content, which is another undesirable outcome.

On Twitter, you might get different people posting about it, and accompanying thread, but no way to find them. I think there’s still room for comment systems.



And HN threads die and lock out after a time, there’s no long term commenting.

But for most people who have a blog and don’t have a “trusted group of commenters” the value of comments is low to nil.
