There will be a presentation at the WWW2006 conference that sounds fascinating.
Large scale analysis of blogs conclude among other things that
- comments constitute approximately 30% of blog posts
- comments are indicators of popularity of the page
- comments can be analyzed to determine the level of controversy of a topic
This is an interesting computational study classifying text for disputes
- frequency counts ("i don't think that", "you are wrong", and so on)
- extreme punctuation (!!!!!!!!!!!)
- polarity (disputes more likely to have a negative tone)
- referral (disagreements usually include references to previous content or authors)
- length of post (disagreement usually were in longer threads)

That's interesting about comments and blogs, they are slightly symbiotic if I do say so myself. Good read!

WOoOW, I didn't know about this statistic before.
I think the comments is good because It's provide unique content to the blog, but it's also bad because sometimes people spam the blog.
Anyway I disable the comments in my blog

A blog wouldn't be a blog without the comments from other people - i think its a great idea.
