Mashable had the hot steaming news about Google's new commenting system for it's News service.

Before you start getting all giddy it's only open to companies and organizations "related" to the news story. Beyond the editorial nightmare what surprised me was the restraint here by Google. They could have started the process of Digg/Netscape annihilation by bringing Social news to the "true" masses.

Oh well, I'll give them 6 months.
