I'm not sure why this is getting down voted. There is an opportunity here to build a web application to help the peer review process. Whether the academic community wants such a thing is beyond me, but the observation is perfectly valid.

The whole math community on the web thing mostly started when Wordpress added support for LaTex (which let them use formula).

There have been some attempts to use Wikis for the same process, but from casual observation they seem to keep returning to using blogs. There is MathOverflow though: http://mathoverflow.net/

I think on most research the current pace of the informal peer reviews and discussion is unusual and unsustainable. On most things I think it would be unnecessary.

i think the deluge of comments we're seeing from the math community is because the paper claims to solve one of the toughest problems out there. this wouldn't scale to findings of a lesser importance
