Why No Intense Debate?
There’s a new kid on the block on the comments side of the business, Intense Debate. The premise of the service is outstanding – provide a central repository to track your visitors’ comments, expand the commentary beyond your blog, and provide a very rich interface to display the comments.
Would I ever utilize Intense Debate? Perhaps… if they abandoned the JavaScript method of displaying the comments and, instead, changed their service to ‘shared’ approach where the comments are served by my blog BUT are also posted to their service. That would provide the best of both worlds… all the advantages of their application in addition to benefiting from the user-generated content of my site.
