My thoughts: you play on Stars? :)

It does look a lot neater but I'd rather that your friends status updates are mixed in with the rest of your new feed (your own status withstanding).

Is FriendFeed integration and using Disqus really important for non tech blogs? I'm working on a music blog and while my users are familiar with Facebook, Myspace and maybe last.fm; very few would use Twitter and none would use FriendFeed. If my users are going to comment based on the content being decent quality, surely they couldn't care less what type of commenting system is in place?

I agree that commenting needs to be made simple and user friendly, but after trialing Disqus on my blog, I don't know what I'd get out of using it overWordpress' standard comments with Ajax Edit Comments and Subscribe To Comments plugins (and at least I get to host my own comments that way).

I've been watching the Facebook Connect plugin very closely - I think it would suit my commenters quite well (although not all of them will want to use it - it's much harder to talk absolute crap when your real name and picture is above the comment!)

I have a Powerthirst "When God Gives You Lemons..." shirt at home. It is great.

I agree with Pete, the graphics are sharp and uncluttered. Nice and easy on the eye - I like it. Not so sure about the watermark with a background colour however.
