Via RSS, I’m subscribed to comments by about 20 people (grouped in a Google Reader folder), which is usually enough to point me to whatever interesting discussions are going on, but doesn’t require looking through tons of relatively low-signal comments in the global comments stream. It’s a good solution, you won’t be able to arrange a similar quality of comment selection automatically.
