Yeah I think you are right. I love simplicity but seem bad at achieving it myself. Im trying through, have put ideas about needing a new fancy flash player to power this stuff, to one side for now, JW FLV player is good enough for a start, and Im getting way ahead of myself.
For prototyping how the comments/conversations may be presented, we could just use a multi-user CMS such as drupal, and just pretend its not a single site. However Ive melted my mind by trying to read the list of every drupal module thats available for v5. Lots of different comment modules to ponder. So going back to basics, how exactly are people thinking that comments from multiple sites, or video responses or whatever, would be presented visually?
