Main advantages Disqus has is the adeptness for users to login with
Facebook Connect area the comments as well arise in the commentators
newsfeed. Disqus is Great! Currently there are some "comment plugins"
which can let a page accept action of comment.

I'm confused to choose IntenseDebate or Disqus, but I'm lucky. I found this article. Thank you "lessannoyingcrm.com" I so know difference and maybe I'll pick IntenseDebate.

Indeed, IntenseDebate has come a long way in terms of plug-ins, since I wrote this.

I am currently using Disqus because I had a hard time handling spam in IntenseDebate comments. I must say I haven't seen a lot of spam since then. I used Akismet in both, so I wonder what made the difference.

The last post I wrote on this blog, I wanted to add a poll. I checked IntenseDebate, it has a plug-in for PollDaddy, Disqus doesn't! I almost switched back to IntenseDebate. But I thought I'd give Disqus another couple months.

After I wrote this review, I started using IntenseDebate for just the reason you mentioned - it is owned by the same organization that owns WordPress. I am sure I'll go back to IntenseDebate, one of these days.

However I love the fact that there is choice. It has been fairly easy to switch between the two too.

I do think that Disqus has a larger user base as compared to IntenseDebate - at least among the kind of blogs I read. That sometimes helps.

I agree that there are little advantages - but that is subjective, like you said, to what matters to you.

Edit: I just noticed that there is a Google Buzz plug-in in IntenseDebate now!

One thing missing from your review, and I think it is an important point to note, Intense Debate is owned by the parent organization of Worpdress (Automattic - http://automattic.com/).

You've also failed to describe (and this may be due to the date of your review) all the great plugins that Intense Debate provides with a single click in the admin interface. Polls, Video, Translate and more. You'll have to excuse my ignorance here, but the last time I tried DIsqus they were lacking in the plugins area.

So it might not be a choice betwee Coke vs. Pepsi. There are some little advantages to ID, if they matter to you.

Its good to see the comparison over here. Personally I favour IntenseDebate for the features that automatic community always adds to their projects.

I enjoyed this, because I've just recently decided to try them out as well. I sided with ID after trying both. Seemed to work great, but I was using Firefox forgot to try it in IE. Some reason from the main blog page, clicking the Comments link in FF works perfectly and goes to the post page and the comment section. In IE just to the post page and you have to scroll down for the comment section. Might just be my blog coding not compatible, I don't know, I've been recoding everything to my liking, but ID support is checking into it, got quick response. I think I'll stick with ID, Disqus seems more clunky somehow.

Also just noticed tho, that with ID ticking the "tweet this" box didn't tweet anything. Of course, after reading your post here apparently you have to be signed in to comment with your Twitter account, which is stupid since by default I'm signed with my ID id.

For a WordPress blog, I've seen that switching between the two is painless. I have both the plugins installed. I just de-activate one and activate the other.

There is a short window of time, when the activated plugin is sync'ing comments, that the blog looks 'confused'. Then again, I don't get too many comments - mine is a pretty low-traffic blog. So this window is pretty short and I guess doesn't hurt many readers.

Thanks for your reply - I understand that coke vs. pepsi was simply a metaphor in this instance. Personally we've run into some reliability issues with Disqus trackbacks and reactions showing consistently on our blog so we've been looking at Intense Debate and wondering if we should take the leap. Given the research on blogs like yours...we are going to stick with Disqus a little while longer. Thanks again!

Mahesh Asolkar — Thu, 10 Dec 2009 20:17:48 -0000

Yup! For the time being anyway. It never hurts to check out alternatives every once a while, right?

And to clarify, I did not say one or the other was Coke or Pepsi. I just said that the choice between the two is like choosing between Coke and Pepsi - it's a personal choice.

I do like Coke. And since I was using IntenseDebate then, I guess association just happened.

I am still split on IntenseDebate v/s Disqus. I hope it stays that way, cause competition is always good.

Ahh, though I see some of the older comments lauding your choice of Intense Debate - the Coca Cola of commenting systems, I see I am commenting using a Pepsi product. Guess you switched.
