Here come the flame wars on Amazon

  Have you ever read an Amazon review where one reviewer takes on another? Like, “I don’t know what the reviewer below is smokin’, but ‘Can’t Stop the Music’ is one of the greatest films ever made.” Apparently Amazon never enabled comments on its reviews lest they erupt into vigorous debates/flames wars. But it happened anyway as people would review a product and comment on another’s review. So now Amazon’s just said “What the hell, why not?” and has enabled comments for reviews. Should be interesting to see how it plays out. Via Waxy
