haha, I see what you mean :) Of course they mean it in the sense of 'applause' though. They're not big on the thumbs-down part of the equation, which I pretty much agree with... I should have mentioned that, but I was reading the digest version and stopped to reply to this first message in the thread before seeing the rest of the discussion, lol. *dunce*
But I just thought I would mention web claps if anyone wanted to look into them, as another model for how such a thing could be implemented on DW. Or indeed on their existing LJ, since almost all existing web clap services out there are designed to be used on remote sites, though the trouble with all of this is most of the services are in Japanese -- I managed to find this link explaining one version of the system, though: ( http://fc2blogmanualen.blog124.fc2.com/blog-entry-53.html ) The idea of saying "thanks for a good entry" without actually having to comment is pretty big in Japanese blogging. -Loren Leah On Wed, Mar 18, 2009 at 1:16 PM, Teresa C <[email protected]> wrote: > Heh.
