True entrepreneurs realize this isn't personal and figure out how to incorporate feedback. Some feedback will be dumb. Listen to make the person giving it happy, and then feel free to ignore it later on if it isn't part of your vision or you think it's bad feedback. Here were my quick, unedited thoughts:

UI
- Less white space (I know that goes against the Gospel, but you are overdoing it)
- Don’t have the upvoting and downvoting be all the way on the right side, make everything very close together so navigation is fast

Business
- Allow the user to choose to display a link to their Facebook, LinkedIn, Myspace, etc. profiles
- Try to have a lite version of the program for people without a hardcore userbase
- Give bloggers tools they want
+ ability to generate mailing list of commenters
+ ability to have various forms of notifications on comments
+ “related blog posts” feature
+ “related comments” feature

Props to Josh for reaching out for feedback. True entrepreneurs realize this isn’t personal and figure out how to incorporate feedback. Some feedback will be dumb. Listen to make the person giving it happy, and then feel free to ignore it later on if it isn’t part of your vision or you think it’s bad feedback.

I would really like to chat with you about it actually if you would be interested. I have some good ideas for it. Well, for what it’s worth, I think it’s a great idea.

I have no beef with you. You are free to post as you wish. I am certainly interested in feedback of any kind. We do have revenue plans, I assure you and it isn't just throwing up adsense. What can we do to get better? Hi Techdumpster. I have no beef with you. You are free to post as you wish. I am certainly interested in feedback of any kind.
