I switched over to Intense Debate yesterday. One problem: It is too big.

I am contacting them right now to see how to fix the problem.

I am a fan of ID. I tried Disq but didn't like how it displayed and took over/deleted comments. Switched my blog template and have been using ID eversince and have been loving it.

Right. My thing with GooWave is just that it's so rare that everyone is online at the exact same time. (i.e… the 15 minutes it took me to get back to my computer to reply to this comment).

it cam be useful, like we have seen. but also crazy. Is a post becomes popular like this one then there can be a new concept; Tangent Commenting.

yeah, Wave seems to have fallen a bit off the map, but I somehow doubt that it will disappear – in fact I think that there will be a resurgence. And if it comes to comments then it will certainly be used by many.

whoa… that would be cool! Honestly… I don't use Google Wave that often. My girlfriend and I have an open wave that we both check about once every 3 – 4 days and we just leave each other random (not time sensitive) messages on it. That's about all it's good for in my book right now…

That could be very cool! Back when Google Wave was all the rave there was talk about it being integrated into blogs as comments. It seems like the noice about Wave is dying down though. I have an account, but rarely use it.

I'll just say that I really love ID. Yes… I've had a comment or two get eaten up by it never to seen again. That's a little annoying. I'm not going to pretend that ID is perfect because it's not. I do use it on my blog and I like being notified of "replies" only via email.

I know that the default wordpress comment system can be prettier at times and easier for the majority of people to use, however I just really like having ID handle all my comments. On a personal note… I was sad to see ID leave ragamuffinsoul.com.

Hi Michael – so far we haven't been able to recreate this issue. Can you please email me at support@intensedebate.com if it happens again? Thanks.

Word!!! Just imagine when Comments become like Google Wave. Where we can talk in real time; taking the discussion and conversation past a simple reply and close page.
