WordPress.com - Comment Replies via Email
While the Automattic crew was in Colorado last week we were working on new features and tonight we’re opening a beta for the one of those - comment replies via email. This is a new capability that we’ve added to WordPress.com that allows you to reply to a comment simply by replying to the comment notification email that gets sent out to post authors when someone leaves a new comment. Here’s a quick video that shows how it works:
To start with we are calling for beta testers. If you want to get in on the beta leave a comment on the announcement post specifying what the URL of your WordPress.com blog is. We’ll be adding users to the beta until 7pm (Utah time) Friday 24 October 2008.
I have a personal attachment to this feature, Barry, Jon Fox (from IntenseDebate) and I worked on this while in Colorado. So I’ll be keeping on eye on how the beta testing goes.
Awesome news, Joseph! You’re on fire lately! Is this only for Wordpress.com blogs? Also, you should be sure to talk to the FriendFeed guys about integrating this.

The period for adding blogs to the beta has already closed. We’ll make another announcement when this feature has been enabled for all WordPress.com blogs.

We’ve closed sign-ups for the beta, but we’ll eventually be making it active for all blogs.
