Hear hear!

It seems like forever that I've wanted either Facebook or curated comments on my local paper's site, SFGate.com

I'm at the point now where I won't click on a link or read a story on SFGate -- I will go an seek out another news source which carries that story if possible. The net effect of having such a cesspool of comments beneath whatever I'm reading is that it makes me I'm participating in a community of scumbags.

I'd rather read the Economist or NY Times, where the comments seem informed.




Facebook integration would be great on our site, at least that way we could put a face(no pun intended) to each comment.

I feel you on the whole scumbag thing, I go through our website and check the comments everyday and am blown away by what my neighbors are saying.

I understand that anonymity is important but if you want to make real changes sooner or later someone has to show their face. Just my opinion.
