Emptybottle.org: Commenter and Commented

Shelley speaks so eloquently on so many other topics, you (well, I) sometimes forget she is also a Geek Goddess without peer. This latest innovation from her is a really cool idea, and one that might help to combat that feeling of impermanence and evancescence of weblog comments. I want one too!

(I find myself remembering the toolset for OLAP analysis of financial data that was a small part of the Swiss Army knife professional practice management product that I (almost, if it hadn't been for the f--kwits) almost took to market at my last tech job, and wonder when we'll be able to effortlessly pivot our views of a given weblog against a wide variety of axes, at will. Slice and dice, baby!)

WC: I like Shelley's innovation too. I'm also thinking more like this, on a wider scale, might come from the Google/Pyra fusion. Doesn't have to be AOLTW all over again, eh? fwiw
