IntenseDebate is a comment system that enhances and encourages discussion on your blog or website. That means matt is taking these commenting and discussion thing much seriously.  I guess he will incorporate features on IntenseDebate in next update on WordPress.

In my previous post I detailed about BackType. But IntenseDebate seems to me the bigger venture as now its get support from Automattic. If you are wondering What IntenseDebate does then see check out these cool features IntenseDebate performs.

    Where do you find these things? I must admit Backtype and IntenseDebate look like pretty cool things. I have yet to explore them fully but will in the coming days

    Wow that looks cool.. a way to reward your loyal readers on the blog (with the ratings and stuffs)

    WordPress 2.7 will have a threaded comment (I already have it on my blog now with WordPress 2.7 Beta 1), but the other features look neat too
