I don't understand how this is unique over the hundreds of blogging and quite frankly opinion article platforms out there. They all moderate, I think controlling how people respond and communicate is a much more difficult process than you might think.

It's not meant to be a blogging platform, mainly because we don't need another one. It's all about content, and so I agree it is a HUGE challenge, and definitely one of my biggest concerns. I don't really have an answer for that, except moderation. I guess we'll have to see how it grows.

It is indeed problematic. You don't have to use your full name though (usernames-only are allowed too). Thanks!

As an aside, it honestly confuses me why the vast majority of company blogs don't have an actual link to their home page, but instead prefer to have the header link to their blog subdomain.

I think it's probably not done consciously but rather an oversight, by leaving the original blog's default code

What advantages does this provide over something like Branch.com?

Interestin mostly focuses on user-generated opinion articles and the conversations grow around those articles (in the form of comments and response articles). I think it offers a less-artificial, more natural way of conversing.
