Some people on Plus have a certain wish: Threaded comments.
Well... I'm not a big fan of threaded comments and I don't like the thought of a tree-view in the limited space that we have for the comments on plus.. so I thought about a different solution:
Highlighted threads
I still don't want any threaded comments as I am not sure about their usability. I don't like the disqus system as the depth is limited anyway and stops the conversation at some point (MEH!!)
This is a GENERIC solution, that is a template for social networks in general. It is a rather complicated approach, but if done right, very beneficial in some usage cases. I've missed a few points though. Inline +/@ replies will still be possible as the end of a comment reply is marked by a hit on TAB... and the automention should also be inline, I just drew it differently to have enough space to label the fields and mark the textbodies....
on the left side there is a tree version of a threaded comment system for comparison.
I know it is ugly :P
The idea is free to use, but gimme credit, that'd be nice.
p.s. I'm not sure if I'd want to see threaded comments on Google+ at all. I'm rather skeptic...

The Buzz on Plus: A solution for semi-threaded comments (not necessarily for Plus)

Why not integrate Wave seemlessly, that would solve many issues !
WAVE _would_ be nice but there's a whole lot going on and the system today is so darn FAST I would hate to sacrifice that!
Florian nice to see someone else who indulges their obsessions occasionally! Thanks.
how to link the buzz and plus, i.e. all public shares in buzz to visible in plus and vise versa.
