It seems people are getting hysterical for no reason.
Try it out, if it doesn't work take it off, simple.
Can someone explain to me how having comments on the panos suddenly makes it into some sort of rating system or competition?

I really see the benefits as far outweighing the drawbacks (and think
those drawbacks are being overexagerated), but that's just my opinion of
course. I'm willing to consider it an experimental idea, one that can be
retracted if it proves problematic, but I don't think, given all the
precedent out there, that the idea of in-situ two way communications is
uncommon or unuseful. It's a huge part of the Web 2.0 (hate the name, but
the concept is sound) movement, away from static one-way web presence,
it's all about engaging with the audience. I don't see that as competition
at all - I see it as providing a mechanism for meta-conversation related
to, or instigated by, the content we publish - which is right now trapped
in a one-way push.
