We’re experimenting with the suddenly popular IntenseDebate comment system. We think it might be really useful on the Miro Guide someday, but want to try it here first. Unfortunately, it looks like it hides previous comments from before today… not sure if there’s a way to change that. Old comments should be syncing up in a couple hours.
So, what do you think about IntenseDebate for comments on this blog?
Miro is a project of the Participatory Culture Foundation, a non-profit organization.
The Miro name, logo, and icon are trademarks of the Participatory Culture Foundation (PCF).
All text and image content on getmiro.com, unless otherwise specified, is released by PCF into the public domain. This does not include the Miro name, logo, and icon. This does not include the software code, which is licensed under the GPL. Please share, re-publish, re-use, and re-imagine this site.
I can't get the "try it" to work so I am unable to decide if this is what I'm looking for or not. Frustrating
This is Matt the PCF Sysadmin testing.
And this is Matt again via OpenID
Looks great, but why do I need an IntenseDebate account? They could just create one automatically…
Ok, actually it does create an account automatically, but I get redirected to getmiro.com frontpage after posting a comment…
(This is Matt the Sysadmin again)
I can verify grfgguvf's observation and I'm trying to dope out this problem.
For what it's worth, I've posted an inquiry at IntenseDebate's getsatisfaction forum http://getsatisfaction.com/intensedebate/topics/r…
I hope this is ajaxified…

Nicholas, thanks for giving IntenseDebate a try. Your comments were temporarily hidden while they were imported into IntenseDebate. Sorry about the confusion – we're working on updating the UI to clarify this. Feel free to give me a shout with any questions.
Did you look into Disqus at all?
Disqus sucks compared to Intense Debate.
Ok, grfgguvf's problem was resolved this weekend. It was a bug on the IntenseDebate side.
I did some researching on ID when Obama's change.gov started using it. So far, so good. But, I don't understand how they plan to make money. Until I see a business model, I am still waiting for the trap door to open, revealing the trap.
hello! I like your site

Nice to see so good informations. Very good blog.
It seems like your old comment system shows up if you have JavaScript disabled (for instance if you are using NoScript in Firefox), which means that you get no indication that the experience would be different if you have JavaScript enabled (i.e. you would be able to use IntenseDebate). Also, with the comment I just posted on the NRK post ( http://www.getmiro.com/blog/2008/12/nrk-distribut…, sorry for the double post btw) I still see the same problem as grfgguvf, the link to the comment ( http://www.getmiro.com/#IDComment13647127) links to the Miro front page, not to the blog post.
One more problem: if there is something wrong with the IntenseDebate site (as happened just a few minutes ago when I was trying to verify my account, I got "504 Gateway Time-out" and "502 Bad Gateway" errors) then you cannot view or post any comments on the blog post.
Also, what happens if IntenseDebate goes out of business? Do all comments on sites that use it disappear, or are they stored on the sites themselves as well as at IntenseDebate?
One thing I forgot: on your old comment system, it says when commenting on a certain post will close. E.g. for this post, it says "Comments for this post will be closed on 19 January 2009." Do comments close after a certain time when using IntenseDebate? If so, you might want to display the message then as well.
Recently was release of new comment system. I find it by http://rapid4me.com rapidshare search engine. But I want to know who use it yet .
I gave it a try (found at http://avilib.com/ ), but frankly speaking cannot say anything good about it….
Why did this discussion come up first page on my google for comment systems?
Nice post , thank you for sharing ………
And who does not wish to pay for a hosting, is urgent here – the best free web hosting!
I would say that this comment system is the best, Mike
