I'll bet the developer reply to comments is going to come out of beta now. I think Google has been stuck with this feature due to the problem of "threads" in the comments. Right now, there's no history, just one comment replacing another. Perhaps now that there's a G+ account linked, it will also be possible to create a meaningful thread.
The way the reply to comments thing works now creates a confusing mess if there are multiple replies. Google's approach as it exists in the beta just cautions developers not to start a conversation. That works in a beta but won't in real life. With a thread based system and no anonymous posting, the comments system will have accountability and also history. This will help users and developers communicate in a manner that will help users in general and improve the experience for everyone. I look forward to the this possibility. -John Coryat On Tuesday, November 27, 2012 9:54:27 AM UTC-6, b0b wrote: > > > > On Tuesday, 27 November 2012 16:37:42 UTC+1, b0b wrote: >> >> >>> The register link John posted kind of makes is sounds like you *have*to >>> post with G+.
