Reward your commenters

August 23rd, 2007

This is great…Check out the initiative at Huffington Post to engage their community:

But we’re most excited to announce a new initiative where we will choose one commenter a month to become a featured blogger at HuffPost. Yes, a blogger! Reading through the comments on our site, we realized that our readers are an underutilized resource – smart and opinionated. Our decisions will be based on how many fans a commenter has, how often their comment is selected as a favorite and our moderators’ favorites. Every comment has an I’m A Fan Of and a Favorite link so start voting for the comments and commenters you like best. We will announce the first one at the end of this month!

Thanks community guy for pointing it out. These are the kind of things we worry about as well. In fact we are working on a widget that will reward the best commenters by highlighting their contributions. This will be based on community ratings rather than an editor at a site (who has the time anyhow??)
