I hope Frobes gets easier. I often want to comment on those but he interface is a pain so I tap out.Report

  Ideally, we’re supposed to migrate to Facebook comments. That would be a big step forward.Report

        I don’t facebook, either. Still, I’m sure that the commenting in facebook will be better than Forbes’ system (which always hangs when I try to register).Report

      If it’s the facebook social plugin that Thinkprogress uses, you can use a Yahoo! or Hotmail account to post comments with more anonymity if you don’t use facebook or don’t want to attach your political snarkiness to it.
      
      I have to say Yglesias’ comment sections are actually worth reading now that they’ve implemented it.
      
      I was happy with your posts on G+, though you don’t seem to hit all of them. Here’s hoping there’s an integrated module where you can post them both someday.Report

Is is true we subscribers are supposed to get a designer henchmen outfit? ‘Cause I’m still waiting for my EDK minion gear.Report

Whew, for a second I thought you meant the comment section here would switch to Facebook! Good to know it’s the Forbes site instead, you kinda scared me there.Report

I’ve seen a lot of sites use multiple sign-in options with Google, Facebook and others being accepted. My Google account is tied to my blogging name so I always go with that.Report
