IMHO the separate tabs on osm.org are a little bit fuzzy in their 
concept, yet.
We have tabs for search, data details, map key, export and your proposed 
activities.
The Tab concept as it's used currently lacks combination possibilities: 
It's not possible to show any combination of tabs, which would be useful 
especially for the activity stuff.
I personally don't want to actively crawl the activity, but have it at 
hand while using osm.org as a mapper; keep it open and see what happend 
while diving into a data detail with the data tab or exporting an image.

But as long as there's nothing changed in what we have now, well... it's 
one simple and fitting possibility, that doesn't harm the current page ;)
(to make that clear: the feature itself is cool, that doesn't harm, I'm 
talking about the implentation as tab here only).
> * Do you think commenting on activities would be a useful feature?
For blog posts I think we have that already, which raises the question 
if that should be something on the activity stream or on the activity 
itself at source side.
You proposed yet
- diary entries: these have comments already. I think, it should be 
possible to show them, probably to add them, but comments should be 
attatched to the blog, not to the activity server here.
- new mappers in your area: commenting? I would like to see a link to 
send them a osm message instead.
- OSM Tasking Manager: not sure, don't know much about it.
- events: shouldn't comments go to the wiki page etc. where they are 
pulled from?
- help.osm.org: a link to provide that help would be better (again 
direct at the help system)
- ponies: no comment (please ;) )
