DISQUS is great because it is try to provide bloggers with an opportunity to get what is missing out of their native blogging platform.

Nice article. I have been looking for a comment system for a couple of months that I thought would be dependable and had some cool features and was free ofcourse. Was going to go with intense debate but it looks like disqus might be the better choice.

I started with Disqus on my personal blog. I liked the features, I liked the layout, I like the whole Disqus/ID concept. However, when changing a SEF URL on my site broke Disqus, and I mean completely broke it, I received no answer to my support inquiries. None. Not one. I found a dirty fix on my own by storing comments on my server instead of at Disqus, and that fixed the problem. Once I did that, I switched back to the default Disqus-based solution. It fixed the problem, only now my comments don't register under the article title but the url. End of the world? No. Ugly? Yes. I again received zero response from Disqus in trying to get this problem fixed.

I demoed JS-Kit and IntenseDebate, and I am using ID now. Fact of the matter is, Disqus is the best of the three. I have deleted my site from Disqus, and if they actually ever do delete my site's comments from the database I will import them back in and see if a clean slate fixes the issues I had. If not, I am staying with ID. The sad part is, I will go back to Disqus because it is the best product, but I will also know that they do not respond to their users. Both JS-Kit and ID have been very quick in responding to questions and validation issues.

Great product, but no one answers the phone.

Very helpful as I seek to make a decision whether to go with disqus or stay with blogger's system.

I used Intense Debate for about 24 hours then changed to Disqus and never looked back.
The clincher for me was that Intense Debate wold not allow me to edit comments, or my replies after I had submitted them (ok you can get around it, but that's not the point).
I get the sense that Disqus has become somewhat more evolved since a lot of these comments were made. I have to say I'm enjoying the Disqus experience right now.
The decision between one or the other is a difficult one though, they are both pretty solid applications.

There is always a risk when it comes to business advance. As you have seen, the global crisis has taken down even major companies so when you start a business, you have to take a risk.
