I may give it a try when I revamp one of my sites. Not looking to be a major hub in the world, but just get a chance to write a little bit more.

Thanks for the post, Paul(for the whole blog, actually). I’m shamelessly using your site for new ideas. It’s great to have someone out there looking at all the things I’m missing due to wearing too many hats at too many places.

Great post! coComment provides all the bells and whistles that recently launched commenting systems provide, but what differentiates the tool in my mind is the traction the company already has more than 500K users, which means lots of great content and conversations for people to discover.

coComment is the first tool on the market and just launched a new version, V2 Beta. In this version, coComment tries to make conversations on the web as easy as talking to people in real life. People can stay connected, easily discover great conversations and share them with friends and the community. We welcome any feedback and comments from users, so feel free to e-mail me at kristina@cocomment.com anytime. Thanks! Kristina from coComment

@pete

Josh from Intense Debate here. There are some obvious similarities between Disqus and ID. Many of the things they plan on doing are things we already do. We have some enormous things we are working on at ID that will separate us with our competitors by leaps and bounds.

You know Google will be jumping on this bandwagon soon. They’re anxiously awaiting which web2.0 startup gains the most user base before buying them out. Then they’ll add it as a feature, most likely “Comment History.” You’ll then be able to search Google for other comments. Any takers?

Well I might consider it since cocomments redesigned and relaunched everything seems so complicated and slow I liked the previous version better.

@Engtech thats are really cool idea.

I’ve really been wondering why you can’t go to blogname.com/comments and see the entire site as a forum with each blog post being a subject.

I don’t think it would be hard at all to do as a plugin or part of the WordPress core. It would kind of be like if edit-comments.php was public.

Matt could do something like that and run it on Wordpress.com. Then of course your limited to only Wordpress sites but its an idea.

Any thoughts on how this stacks up to Intense Debate?

My question is, which one of these comment systems do we settle on. I’ve been using co-comment for a few months, is this one better? Do I switch? Which one will benefit my readers more? There are so many services that claim to tie my site in with a wider community – mybloglog etc. When does it end?

I like the idea of centralised comments, but I’m really not keen on handing them over completely to a third party. Until that gets sorted, I’m not even vaguely interested. If they do fix it, I might be interested in the comment rating system that doesn’t exist in co-comment.
