Intense Debate Comment Management
Intense Debate is a powerful comment management system. It goes above and beyond the commenting system built in to WordPress and other blogging and publishing platforms. It’s no wonder Automattic acquired Intense Debate earlier in 2008. For those who don’t know Automattic is the company behind WordPress (blogging platform), Akismet (spam killer service) and Gravatar (creates your comment avatar). Reading the great reviews I decided to take it for a spin!
Features
The features of Intense Debate are outstanding. Anything you could possibly expect from a commenting system is part of this free service. Now they are announcing a partnership with Brightcove to bring video commenting to any javascript enabled webpage with Intense Debate code embedded.

- Reputation Points & Comment Voting
- Moderation/Blacklisting

WordPress Integration
The default WordPress comment system is straightforward and average. But if you want your blog comments to stand out then Intense Debate is the way to go. The installation could not be any simpler. In WordPress 2.7 search for “intensedebate” and click install. That’s it. If you wish to change any settings a link is provided after the install completes. One of the most desirable features in the plugin is the ability to carry a “commenting profile” with you to all other IntenseDebate enabled blogs and websites. No more entering name, email and URL whenever you want to leave a comment. Some of my other favorite features are comment threading, post (comment) specific RSS feeds, comment blocking by username or IP address, sorting the comments by date, rating or last activity in 1 click, voting a comment up or down and reporting a comment as offensive.
Before you make up your mind about Intense Debate comment management take a look at what others are saying – Techcrunch, Blog Herald, ReadWriteWeb, Cnet.

Thanks a landlord it! I acquired yet some insight. Life is so colorful, we should be able to live in, such as Korea and honor the planet. Human life is like rivers, slowly flowing, flowing rivers, flowing through the snow, flows through the prairie and ultimately into the sea, return to the embrace of nature, start a new reincarnation. Allow us to feel the meaning of life will come only to those you have those memories http://www.cheap-nikeshox.com/nike-shox-TL1.html

Great commentary on IntenseDebate. Comment threading and social network integration are the key features that makes it a unique system. Moreover, it rewards those who give better comments by adding a reputation meter.
