Comment Tracking with IntenseDebate
1 Comment · Posted by Chris Agro in Blog Tips and Tricks, What's Hot on the Internet
The Internet can be overwhelming at times. When it comes to keeping track of the comments made on your blog postings I have discovered a new comment tracking system called IntenseDebate to help keep order. Although I am still learning this new system I liked some of the features offered. For one, you can read profiles on those who post comments to your blog. IntenseDebate’s community can vote for bloggers who offer great content, and report those who do not. You get emails sent directly to your inbox when a comment is added to your blog post and the person who added the comment can receive email notifications when there is a reply made. I like that since it should promote more interaction. And I like the fact that you can setup the system to automatically tweet a comment you make on a posting if you want, nice! I would love to hear from others using IntenseDebate. Has it helped with building your blog following? What is the feature you like best?

Comment Control with DISQUS

I just added DISQUS to my blog. What is DISQUS you may ask? Here is an excerpt from the intro on their website:
Disqus, pronounced “discuss”, is a service and tool for web comments and discussions. The Disqus comment system can be plugged into any website, blog, or application. Disqus makes commenting easier and more interactive, while connecting websites and commenters across a thriving discussion community.
I was intrigued when visiting a blog site that had this system in place. My first reaction when going to post my comment was – wow, this is easy (to post a comment). No more threatening “you must log-in to post a comment”. Nice. I installed Disqus on my WordPress blog (version 2.8) without a problem so now visitors to my blog can have that “it’s easy to post a comment” feeling too 
I also integrated my Disqus account with my Twitter, Facebook and of course my blog. Now I will be able to monitor my comments from all of the websites I post to from one source – Disqus. Cool, I love this stuff!
