Do inline comments work as a meaningful communication system at all? Every site with inline comments below the content I can think of seems to generate down right stupid conversion at best, and venomous conversion at worst; I can't think of a single site where it works well. I'm curious why precisely – there doesn't seem to be any inherent failing in this type of comments system; if anything presenting a forum for conversion right on the page, without any effective barriers, should stimulate immediate and specific conversation about the content of the article.
