Warning to Dreamwidth readers: this is mostly about LJ.
Before you could choose to have your own comments mailed to you, i used to copy some comments to a private post. I was thinking through things, and some comments were meaningful enough that i wanted to save them.
The new thing where you can crosspost comments to twitter and FB, though, seems a little odd. I won't be using it. I'm surprised its enabled on locked post comments as well as public. It does not seem that it is controlled anywhere. (However, one can have all of one's comments published to twitter or FB by default.)
I'm too tired to really critique it, and it deserves critiquing. The thing is, i trust y'all, so i'm not going to spend any more energy on this. If you move to Dreamwidth, you'll find most of my blog there, too, and i'm happy to read yours there.
Pingbacks1 have returned. If you've previously selected a setting, it will be the same; if you've never selected a setting, it will default to Open (on). You can change your setting here.2
If you've been using the previous version of Facebook Connect3, you'll need to reactivate your settings here.

External pingbacks are not supported at this time.... The pingback system is mutual; when you choose to receive pingbacks, you are also choosing to send pingbacks to others when you link to their content."
