Dot Com Ments: When Thinking Is Just Too Much Effort

comments.jpg

The idea of letting readers leave comments was something like a bad case of lice, once comments showed up on that first site, forget it, the whole web was infected. Nearly everywhere you go on the web there’s some way to immortalize your inane banter, er, I mean thoughts, for everyone to see.

But what about when you can’t be bothered to read the stuff you’re commenting on? And what if you just don’t have any thoughts? Let someone else do the thinking. It’s part of the whole “outsourcing your brain” idea that “life hacking” sites are always detailing.

And if you’re going to outsource your brain you may as well give the work to someone with a sense of humor, which is I’m pointing you to Dot Com Ments. Dot Com Ments are hand drawn images you can embed in comments around the web, some zany, some sarcastic, some funny, some not-so-funny.

Of course, because they require HTML to embed the images Dot Com Ments won’t work everywhere (like here for instance), but for those times when you want to show you really, uh, care and the page in question doesn’t strip HTML, well, here’s your answer.

Dot Com Ments creator is taking suggestions, so if you’d like to see some more sarcastic or witty comments, drop the designer a note. Personally, I’d like to see the folk behind Someecards hand out a few ideas.
