Some mixed reactions on this announcement from Google: “We’ll be trying out a mechanism for publishing comments from a special subset of readers: those people or organizations who were actual participants in the story in question.”
The idea of giving readers a voice is the driving theme behind the read/write web. The drawback to this announcement is that the “voice” is given only to people directly involved in the story. Another interesting aspect relates to content hosting - obviously Google News aggregates content, so comments made by those involved in the article will only be seen through the eyes of Google News readers…not the actual article. PR companies must like this new option…
