Re: Comment Systems Review Redux

Scott, I figured that there needed to be a third employee in the comment section here... ;-)

In regards to the nofollow link attribute, IntenseDebate comments are generated by JavaScript so comments (including the links they contain) are not indexed. However with our WordPress plugin, comments are output back into the WordPress comment section, so whatever nofollow or dofollow configurations you had in WordPress are applied to comments that are synced back into WordPress.

Hope that helps!

Hey Daniel. I noticed that you're not running IntenseDebate. Did you run into any issues with your plugin? Please let me know I'm, happy to help troubleshoot.

Thanks for the blog love Micah, we really appreciate it. You gave us excellent feedback on how to improve our Twitter integration and we were happy to implement it. I've got to say, now it's an awesome feature!

IntenseDebate is for bloggers and commenters. We'd have to be crazy not to listen to their feedback. It's a lot easier than guessing what they want, so keep the feedback coming!

Thanks again,
Michael

Randy, what do you mean exactly by your blog being down? We have had no down time. Was there an extended load time? Please let me know. Again, the plugin is in the beta stages, so we'd love to know about any bugs that you encounter so that we can improve it.

Thanks!

That's very strange Randy. We donâ€™t touch the .htaccess file. We might generate a little bit of load during the import, but it's not anything significant or severe.

While I don't really know what happened exactly, it's extremely unlikely that ID was responsible for the issues with the .htaccess file as we never use it or touch it.

Re: Why I Disabled Disqus’ Comment Plug-In

Michael Koenig — Fri, 11 Jul 2008 15:13:32 -0000

I really didn't want to leave this message in your comment section, and I apologize for the intrusion, but I was unable to send you a private note. I kept receiving an error message from wordpress.

I just wanted to let you know that IntenseDebate comments offer all of the features you're interested in per your post above.

In addition, we're about to start testing our new version of our wordpress plugin that will have full data sync of your comments from IntenseDebate to your blog (along with a ton of other groundbreaking features). I'd love to fill you on how IntenseDebate has the features on your wish list. Please email me at michael@intensedebate.com to chat.

Kind regards,

If anyone is interested in learning more about our plugin please feel free to email me at support@intensedebate.com. I'm happy to chat!

Where your comments are stored is definitely a common concern Wayne. One of the main features of our new WordPress plugin (to be released shortly) addresses that issue. Without divulging too much detail, let me just say that the new IntenseDebate plugin will feature full data synchronization where you will always have your comments no matter what. Sorry I can't say more, I don't want to spill the beans just yet, but I think you'll be impressed.

You've got a good point Andrew. That's one of the goals of IntenseDebate - to give you the platform to voice your opinion and engage in a conversation that's organized and manageable. We're always looking to improve IntenseDebate and we love feedback, so let me know if there's a way for us to improve.

It's my pleasure Andrew - gotta pay attention to the comments, it's what IntenseDebate is all about! Seriously though, give ID a try and let me know if it's what you had in mind. If it's not please send me some feedback at support@intensedebate.com. Thanks!

Andrew, I tried responding to your comment a couple of times last night about me stopping by here, but I'm not seeing it here.

Anyway, it's my pleasure stopping by - gotta read the comments, it's what IntenseDebate is all about! When you get a chance please check out IntenseDebate comments and give it a try. We've got a good thread going on our blog right now under our latest post (http://intensedebate.com/blog). Let me know what you think and how we can improve it (support@intensedebate.com).

I'm with you about the comments here...of course I'm biased but I'd love to see mashable using IntenseDebate.

Re: Why No Intense Debate?

Michael Koenig — Mon, 21 Jul 2008 17:36:20 -0000

Hi Douglas. Thanks for posting about IntenseDebate. I'd like to address a couple of your concerns. IntenseDebate does offer an exporter for Wordpress that puts your comments directly back into Wordpress' proprietary comment system.

In regards to placing comments made in IntenseDebate directly into your Wordpress comments as a backup, indexing comments, and our API (per Noah's comment above), we've got some huge features coming down the line very shortly! I can't spill the beans publicly yet (although I guess I just did), but let's just say that your entire wish list will be covered along with a ton of other awesome features.

We're looking for beta testers for our upcoming Wordpress plugin version 2.0. If you're interested in finding out more about the awesome features included in this and getting on the beta list please email me at support@intensedebate.com. I'd love to have you using IntenseDebate.

Kind regards,
Michael

I'm in and I will not back out. I'll eat until I win or vomit, and if I vomit I'm taking Micah out in the act. Let's see him eat sushi after that.

Mahesh, excellent review. Thanks for going with IntenseDebate. I myself drink Coke, so I'm glad to see that IntenseDebate is the Coca-Cola of comment systems!

I'd like to point out that you can configure your IntenseDebate account to tweet your comments. Please check out your profile page at http://intensedebate.com/edit-user-services and select Twitter Options. This is actually a feature we've offered since June, 2008! :-)

By the way, you might notice our shiny new Edit Profile page when you're checking out your Twitter options. That update was pushed live 15 minutes ago.

Also, check out our Plugins at <a href="http://intensedebate.com/plugins" target="_blank">http://intensedebate.com/plugins . There's a ton of awesome additions for your comment section. We also feature a Plugins API, and full Customization Options. Please let me know if you have any questions.

Thanks again for going with IntenseDebate!
