In reply to Danny Brown.

Pulling in comments from Twitter is something I’d still like to explore. It’s not at all possible with the current Twitter api (you can’t query replies to a tweet) but if that changes in the future I’ll certainly give it a try. We could do relevancy (to the post) checks using our existing tech to only pull in the best responses. Might be interesting.

You could easily style them to represent the network they came from… and even allow native replies to them, which would then reply back via Twitter as well. Something to think about.

I think the big challenge with inline comments is theme compatibility. It’s a support nightmare from the few dev I’ve talked to who have tried it. But yes, custom comment types would open up a few doors there for sure. I hope someone keeps pecking away at that problem.
