Intense Debate It Is
I install Intense Debate as my commenting system and the world takes notice.
Automattic, the company behind the popular WordPress blog publishing software has acquired blog commenting service Intense Debate.
We’ve covered Intense Debate in the past. The service provides web publishers a replacement for the default comments systems supplied by WordPress, Blogger, and Moveable Type and other blog platforms. By installing the plugin, you get threaded comments, reputations, and other advanced features. And readers can track their own comments and those left by others across any blogs or web sites that use Intense Debate.
Intense Debate will continue to be available for use on blog platforms besides WordPress, but Automattic plans to add some features, like threaded comments to WordPress 2.7, which will be the company’s next major release.
So what are you waiting for? Sign up for an account if you haven’t already.

I like Intense Debate, but I prefer (for now) to post comments using Blogger's account (since they are going through an upgrade).
Although I will dust off my account if I ever get fed up with Blogger (as Intense Debate is no longer allowing sign ups as they integrate with WP).
As my swedish boss would say it (in his swenglish accent ) : I Like It !
Darnell, our beta is temporary. When we reemerge we will still be support other blog platforms like Blogger, Typepad, Movable Type, Tumblr, and more along the way. Your blog will really benefit from IntenseDebate comments. Please enter your email address and we will send you an invite code to install IntenseDebate in the coming week. Cheers, Michael
My husband says thumbs down. So…

Thanks for the heads up. It should now be working.
