Hans on Experience: Microfeed for "TypeKey" http://www.hansonexperience.com/my_weblog/2005/07/typekey.html Comments for the entry "TypeKey" en-us Movable Type v3.34 http://www.rssboard.org/rss-specification maa, 04 jul 2005 13:10:08 +01:00 Comment from Neville Hobson That's a good assessment, Hans.

As you mentioned, I've also enabled TypeKey on my blog. For the moment, it's voluntary - I don't want to place too many hurdles in front of people who want to comment. Much will depend on how the system works and how willing people are to support it.

I have not implemented comment moderating. Unless you have major spam issues, it's overkill. I've seen a number of TypePad bloggers who have now done it. I think most of them have because they can. Plus, you have to spend additional time reviewing and approving each comment before it gets posted.

Big hurdles for everyone!

Moderation does not make sense when you have no problems with spam. I tested it and it works fine. For now I disabled it. This TypePad feature is very strong I think. I hope a lot of people are going to use it.

You state "The advantage for the reader is that he need not fill in name a.s.o. and that his emailaddress is not displayed".
On your blog you have the "Remember personal info"-checkbox and the email-address is not displayed anyway.
So from a user perspective I don't see THE REAL ADDED VALUE of this function for anyone that wants to comment on your posts.

If they should use the TupeKey function the emailaddress was not displayed. For readers who do not have a website/url the emailaddress is displayed. Using TypeKey is will not been displayed.
For the 'remember personal' info I do not know exactly how that works, but I think with cookies or something. Leaving tracks of me somewhere. With TypeKey it does not. I just log in in TK and authentication is done. It is a centralized way of managing your identity/authentification proces. We will see how it works. If nobody implements it it will be no benefit.
