Why do the online news sites insist on sorting comments in a descending order? Its really hard to follow the flow of other readers' comments if you have to scroll all the way down, then up to the next comment, down as u read it, up again, etc. nation.co.ke, and I think capitalfm.co.ke and eastandard.net. Its especially hard for those of us reading from the kawaida gprs fones.
I think they are faced with the dilema of a reader having to see a very old comment first. what they shud do is offer a latest comment first, then a chronological listing of the rest of the comments, or an ajax sort toggle.
That will be much much better. After all, most international news sites do that- kina nytimes, etc On 8/5/09, Ken Simiyu <kensimiyu@gmail.com> wrote:
