I know, my current comment system stinks: it’s hard to decipher a simple re-tweet from a thoughtful comment, which is certainly harming the quality and content of the conversation here at PR-Squared.
Working on it. We’ll fix it.

Todd – there’s a setting in Chat Catcher which lets you show retweets as trackbacks instead of comments. I use it to separate them out – my theme shows trackbacks in a separate section to comments. Might be worth trying to see if that works for you.
Agree with Dave’s suggestion. As a reader, I look at the conversation within the comments also and find it hard to decipher it when there are RTs in the mix.
I recommend Disqus or, if you must, JS-Echo. If you’re consdering moving to WordPress you might consider Intense Debate but I think Disqus wins out pretty much every time.

Hey Todd,
As a longtime reader, I really do dig your blog, and am glad you didn’t take my feedback the wrong way. Look forward to seeing what you do here!
Cheers,
Adam
