What a waste of space. re-Tweeting something is not a comment. I enjoy reading the comments on news/articles more than I do the articles most of the time. Here's a tip to add to this article: 6. Do not make your 'Comments' section be a re-Tweet factory. People enjoy intelligent conversation and may not necessarily want to read continuous rebroadcasts. Twitter is popular because people want to be popular with little or no effort (e.g. RT somebody else's interesting article) but don't forget about people who want to have their brains worked out a bit when they visit your blog. Shame on you SmartBrief. Only 5% of Americans are using Twitter (http://www.harrisinteractive.com/harris_poll/HarrisPollByDate2009.asp) but I guess the whole world revolves around it?

Perhaps a pat-on-the-back list of RTs separate from comments might be useful in its own section (although a tad vainglorious), but having substantive comments that don't require having to open new links to read them would seem a more effective way to keep reader interest and to model good social media practices.

Too much "bulk" out there that is about as fun as translating ancient Greek to Hebrew. If I may offer 1 more to the list:
