brian:What if there were notifications for replies to comments?
What you say is also very easy though - it's just a link to their profile index with a "hash" tag set so they drop right down to the comment box.
Brian -
A notification of a reply to a comment ... that should be the same thing as someone just commenting, especially as there is no nesting of replies to replies. Not sure if there is a meaningful difference semantically (or from a data structures perspective).
The "reply to comment" (comment back) is a shortcut - it takes us directly to the place where we reply back with a single click; that's its usefulness, the single click to reply (and it would be even better if cursor focus were in the comment textarea).
It's is NOT a feature that I use very often, but I don't keep track of my members commenting on each others' comment walls so I can't tell you how useful it is to my membership in general. However, I can see where it's useful in a lot of communities.
But notifications is an absolute necessity - otherwise it would
never occur to me to check my comment wall.
