I’m proud to announce that Dallas South News is partnering with Insight to use their new interactive commenting application. Insight allows users to highlight any text on a page to rate, ask a question and leave a comment. The video below makes it very easy to learn out to use and engage others through this very useful tool.
Video on how to use Insights
Insight has also been implemented at Huffington Post, where Matt Palevsky describes it like this:
Using Insight, readers can create a public comment thread on individual sections of an online text. In this case, you can highlight any line item and make a comment that applies specifically to that section. (Others) will then have the option to click on the same portion of text and include their own comments or vote on a 1-5 scale on the section’s accuracy, importance and to what extent you agree.
Thanks to Porter Bayne, founder of Ameritocracy (makers of Insight) for partnerning with DSN on this project. Check out the video and use this tool as much as possible.
