I switched from Intense Debate. Happily, if you have a Facebook Account, you won't need to sign up for Disqus to leave comments now.

Both of these systems seems good even though they differ in available features. However I'm still using simple Blogger comments. Not sure how it will effect me if I switch to one of these.

Anyone using these third party comment management systems with Blogger?

We moved from disqus to ID last week and migrated 34,000+ comments from Disqus to ID, the chaps over at ID helped us get it right with minimal disruption and made the move was painless. ID really is fantastic, IMO the threading is more consistent that with Disqus and ID has a *much* nicer UI. Handling comment approval by email is also a great feature. The guys there really do listen to their users and they have implemented things within days of making a suggestion. Great stuff, thumbs up from me!

Awesome! Nice to hear from someone who has a larger comment count and to know it's a scalable solution. (Not to say that Disqus isn't). I agree the UI is definitely nicer. I'm loving life aboard the ID boat!

That sounds like a bug. IntenseDebate has a character limit of several thousand. What web browser were you encountering this in? Would you mind reinstalling ID? I'd like to take a look and troubleshoot this issue.

Both Disqus AND Intense Debate are great products compared to the native WordPress commenting system as it stands now. For me running WordPress the few extra bells and whistles available within ID as well as the fact that Automattic owns the company now pushed me in that direction. Let me know what you end up going with!

Great write-up. I am like you, ID is the way to go. That was an interesting problem your first commenter had about the 500 word limit, but I am like you: probably not an issue any time soon.

I am happy to see another friend up on the ID bandwagon. Now, we just need to get the Disqus people to jump ship…

I just checked a comment I posted on my wife's blog and one CAN delete your own comments, so that's a nice feature available in both ID and Disqus. The fact that there's full synchronization makes it easy to try out and revert back if necessary.
