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
Yes Michael – Matt will definitely do something about the present commenting system and discussion mode.
