A comment I had posted on:
Echo won’t kill comments — they’re already dead.
echo does not present a problem that cannot be logcially and easily handled.
echo should work in tandem with traditional comment option. the UI could handle this in different ways such as a few tabs beneath the post, using a sidebar or even a popup.
echo should not replace your own comment system.
every blogger should want to have control over comments. this is not very different than the topic of owning control of your short tracker urls and using your own domain etc. comments are important enough to control in the same way.
in addition to trackbacks/pingbacks, echo can co-exist. just dont disable your own comment system, even if moderated.
