Now comments ala Habrahabr in any blog!

    Recently, 2 new web 2.0 projects came out of closed beta testing : Intense Debate and Disqus . Both of them have similar functionality and offer a radically new look at the blog commenting system.
    With just a few clicks of the mouse, a blogger can install a commenting system on his blog with great features and webdwanol content.
    Let's take a closer look at the Intense Debate service (initially this article was planned as a comparative one for both services, but for some unknown reason Disqus refused to work normally on my blog, even launching on a specially wound test blog with a standard template did not help. I do not exclude that the reason is corny in my curves Disqus is in no way inferior to its competitor in functionality, and even has a number of unique functions. Therefore, I suggest everyone to pay attention to it).
    After installing the widget in my blog (supported by Blogger, Wordpress, TypePad ), I received comments with the following features:
    1. A beautiful design that automatically adjusts to the fonts and colors of the blog.
    2. The tree-like structure of comments (ala Habrahabr) - Now, on a blog, readers can engage in verbal battles among themselves.
    3. The system for evaluating the pros and cons.
    4. The reputation system (for registered users)
    5. The comments of the author of the blog are highlighted in a separate color.
    6. The ability to subscribe to the RSS feed as to all comments in the post, as well as to any internal discussion that you like.
    7. Avatars (for registered users).
    8. The “menu” button next to the avatar, by which anyone can get to any of your site, blog, subscribe to the RSS feed with comments, or even subscribe to your blog’s friend feed without even going to it.



    Directly on the Intense Debate website, the blogger has at his disposal a system of accounting and management of comments on his blog:
    1.Statistics (the number of comments, their percentage, the average number of characters in the comments, the average value of the reputation of your commentators, the last 5 comments of your blog, the most commented blog posts ...)
    2. Moderation of comments (both individually and all in bulk).
    3. The history of the comments.
    4.Antispam protection (all for moderation; all new commentators for moderation; number of links in the comment, after which the comment goes to moderation; keywords for which the comment goes for moderation; blacklist of words by which the comment is automatically deleted ; full ban of a certain commentator). I checked the protection system for recognizing the Cyrillic alphabet - everything works!
    5. Import / export comments.
    6. Skins for the comment form (so far only 2 topics are available). The ability for advanced users to play with CSS styles themselves (though the fraudsters insistently ask not to do this until the system leaves beta)
    7. Widgets for your blog.

    But this is just the tip of the iceberg. The main mission of Intense Debate and Disqus is to create a worldwide social network of bloggers and their commentators. The reader who decides to register with the system receives at his disposal a single account for all blogs that host Intense Debate or Disqus systems - a single avatar, a single reputation system that takes into account all comments and their ratings on all blogs where the reader left a comment. At the same time, you can communicate directly on blogs and on the service sites themselves: Intense Debate provides a system of “friends”, and Disqus generally offers a unique function - a forum for your readers.

    In short, a new type of interaction of the Internet public has been proposed to the public, based on a commenting system. And its success primarily depends on the bloggers who will decide whether to switch to these unique services. The advantages are obvious - commenting really becomes interesting. And most importantly: the blogger receives not just commentators, but a real social community.
    In my opinion, this is the second most important and really useful for the Internet community web 2.0 concept after the idea of ​​social bookmarking.
