IntenseDebate is a feature-rich comment system for WordPress, Blogger, Tumblr and many other blogging/CMS platforms.
· Comment Threading
Improve the conversation within the comment section and reply directly to an individual comment. Indented replies make following various conversations manageable.
· Reply-By-Email
Respond to and moderate comments with ease via email, even if you're on the go. Just because you're away from your computer doesn't mean the conversation stops.
· Email Notifications
Commenters receive email alerts when a response to their comment is posted, linking them directly to the response. Add in reply-by-email, along with the option to subscribe to all comments and let the debate ensue!
· Commenter Profiles
Commenter profiles let you and your readers learn more about each other. Watch the conversation go to new levels once you and your readers are able to get to know each other. Don't forget, their universal profiles can be used on any site with IntenseDebate!
· Moderation/Blacklisting
IntenseDebate offers some truly hardcore moderation options. Customize your settings to moderate by keywords, number of links, commenter email, and/or IP addresses.
· Reputation Points & Comment Voting
Your readers will start to build their commenter reputations when they create an IntenseDebate account. Their reputation score is based on the quantity, and more importantly the quality, of the comments they've made across all sites with IntenseDebate. Bring the quality comments to the forefront.
· Plugins API
We've opened up our code for developers to introduce their own creations into the debate. These enhancements include Seesmic video comments, PollDaddy polls, YouTube videos, smileys, and more. Interested in building your own customizations? Check out our Plugins API.
· OpenID
Your readers can post comments easily using their OpenID. They can tie their OpenID to their IntenseDebate profile so they won't have to worry about remembering another set of login credentials.
· Widgets
We've built some fancy widgets based on your feedback. You can display your blog's comment stats, the most recent comments made on your blog, your most popular posts, the most recent comments you've made, and even who the top IntenseDebaters are.
Give your commenters the option to send a simultaneous tweet when they post a comment. It's a great way to let your commenters spread the word about your site and drive new traffic and comments!
· Facebook Connect
Open up the debate and let anyone with a Facebook account post comments on your site with our Facebook Connect integration!
· RSS Readers & Tracking
RSS readers make life simple. That's why we've integrated IntenseDebate comments with Google Reader and Bloglines (with more RSS readers on the way) so you can read and post comments directly from your RSS reader.
· FriendFeed
As your content gets more and more fragmented across other 3rd party services, our goal is to bring your blog content back to you. With this in mind, we're really pleased to offer FriendFeed Comment Retrieval. Now when comments are made in the context of your blog on FriendFeed, IntenseDebate will republish them back on your blog! All you need to do is enter in your FriendFeed URL and select the option in your IntenseDebate profile. Find out more here.
· HTML Formatting
You can also customize your links and add some photos to your comments. IntenseDebate supports the following HTML tags: <a>, <b>, <i>, <u>, <em>, <p>, <blockquote>, <br>, <strong>, <strike>, <img>.
· Gravatar
Intensedebate offers full Gravatar support including something we like to call Auto-Grab Gravatar support. If you have a Gravatar we will automatically upload your Gravatar when you signup for IntenseDebate. You can choose to use your Gravatar or upload a different profile pic.
