It is a difficult problem, because often one won't care about a thread once it has deviated and meandered into a space far from the original thread. Notifications, therefore, could get cumbersome.

We created "chatter" to help users see what people they follow are saying, and so encourage more engagement. I suppose it would be easy to add comments on posts that you have submitted to the chatter feed regardless of whether you follow them. There wouldn't be a notification in that case, but at least you would have a record that is easy to find. What do you think?
