Don't do it yourself - checking web pages for changes is a job not fit for a sentient intelligence (especially, Alicorn, one of your calibre). Google's Reader and the various LW RSS feeds can do that job for you.
But I don't want to clutter my RSS feed with every comment made on LW. I do try to at least skim everything, but I'm in a mood to read LW comments at different times than I am in a mood to catch up on other RSS things.
In fact, I used to be subscribed by RSS to the top-level posts on LW, but I unsubscribed, because I check manually so often that I wound up immediately marking the feed items read when they popped up.
Hmm. One of my design goals for this section is that we can relax a little more than on the main site, because the content isn't in the main site feeds.
Is that silly? Is there another way to achieve this and make it easy for you to follow?
If there was a third comments feed that combined both the Discussion and the regular comments, I could just check that - back to one-stop shopping for comments. I don't know how technically feasible that is.
We could, but think that link should be an open secret, rather than linked in the sidebar.
If you lined up all the things you wish we (Trike) had time to improve on LW, where would that sit in your list?
… what if you knew you could use something like one of these Google widgets or one of these Yahoo widgets, or a desktop RSS client to give you that?
The open secret is fine as long as there's a page I can bookmark with all comments in it. I don't see how I could make it happen with RSS without disrupting my current RSS management system.
One of these Google widgets or one of these Yahoo widgets, or a (new) desktop RSS client.
At least one of us is failing to understand the other.
I clicked the links and looked at them and it was not obvious what I was supposed to do with them. I use Google Reader. I try to keep it empty. I do not read feeds and Less Wrong comments on similar schedules, and don't want to. So I don't want Less Wrong comments to appear in my Google Reader.
You use Google Reader as a feed aggregator. It's awesome, and you don't want to change the way you use it - I completely understand and agree.
You want a different feed aggregator for this specific task - you could get that job done through us writing you a feed aggregator as a new page on LW, or by using one of my links to make a new web page on a different site that aggregates the two feeds, or by using a standalone desktop feed aggregator.
Can one vote on comments through feeds, and get the context links and everything?
