Mashable just covered us. The article is quite complimentary (Thanks Kristen) but mentions that traditional comments and inline comments are in two different locations. I think that inline comments complement traditional comments rather than replace them. You can write a long traditional post and use inline comments to create references to what you refer to in the traditional post. The real value of inline comments is that they add context - and that's often very necessary in long or complex blog posts that cover a variety of subjects and have a range of talking points.
We're eagerly gathering user feedback and input from sites like Mashable and putting it all back into the product as fast as possible. So we're thinking about the connection between traditional comments and inline comments. Watch this space.
I am loving the sound of this - I can see it working so well on my site.
One question - I often use venn diagrams on my site ... could I use linebuzz for people to talk about the subset of a graph? I'm assuming not ... but thought I'd ask

Its the first time I'm seeing this. But I still don't get the idea how I should target the text. Anyway, here's a test comment.
