What do you think?

Personally I’ve never been a big fan of video comments on blog posts solely for attention’s sake. I just can’t tell if a comment is worth viewing from the thumbnail, whereas I can eyeball text far faster. That hasn’t stopped some of our competitors like Mashable and TechCrunch from adding video commenting to their sites though.

Movable Type users looking to get simple video comments on their blogs have access to a new plug-in from the folks at Seesmic. Once installed, commenters can add text and/or video underneath someone’s blog post, similar to what’s been available for WordPress users since late April. The plug-in joins similar ones for Disqus, DotClear, and Cocomment. One for Drupal is also right around the corner.

Would you use video comments if available?
