I use CoComment to track my comments on other blogs though I have not implemented it on my blog mainly because I'm from the old school thought and believe in keeping my content and comments on my blog. By implementing a third party service on my blog to manage comments my fear is that comments would not remain as part of my blog.

Though Jitendra has commented on this I would like some of the new service providers namely, Disqus, IntenseDebate and SezWho have extra which is not offered by CoComment for users like myself so that CoComment users like myself are compelled to migrate to their service.

Hey Pete,

BTW SezWho will be great at Mashable as it will improve your community and drive additional traffic without you losing control of your data...we would love to work with you? Let us know?

Thanks,
Jitendra

Jitendra from SezWho here...We think of ourselves as very different from CoComment.

The main differences are:

1. Comments stay at the site where they are made and drive traffic back to the site
2. Readers are able to locate good content in the comments using our filter mechanism
3. Enhances community at the site rather then building a commenter based community.

i myself are very positive about the functionalities CoComments offers. Since the update though the app causes major lag while surfing on the net. So much i had to disable it all together. Anyone else having those problems too?

Many new players for us bloggers to choose from. I have been using cocomment from day one and doubt I would switch. I like the innovators.!

@Pete: I'm sticking with coComment! As you know the new version was launched recently and it provides a lot of great functionality ... in my opinion the most sophisticated conversation system out there!

Also, coComment has been around the longest and one of the benefits of this is the large user-base and volume of conversations being tracked. This is important because it allows users to discover great conversations that others are involved in. This also drives traffic to the site that owns the content, as people discover commments on coComment they would not have seen otherwise. Hope this helps! Thanks and lets see how it turns out â€¦

Hi,
I thought I would give you guys my 2 cents. At politicalgrind.com we have been using Intense Debate comments for about a week; so far it has been really nice.

The guys at Intense Debate have been really good with IM chat and quick email support as well as working with us to figure out what should be changed or improved.

I have also asked them about the ability to import/export comments; and they have informed me that the feature is in the works and is a feature that is a high priority. I have also asked for more widgets for recent comments, which are now available for all Intensedebate users.

Well anyways, if you want to give it a shot feel free to check out my blog. The thread and collapse feature make long comment threads very easy to read.

The next few months will be very interesting with many similar services launching.

Pete,
Josh from Intense Debate here. We have an importer exporter feature. We dont hold your comments hostage. You can save your comments at any time. :)

We are out to partner with publishers and provide them with a comprehensive solution. That means we want to help market and drive traffic to our partnering blogs. We deliberately decided not to reproduce all of the comments on our site because we feel this draws page views from the publisher. Publishers we speak to want value added widgets, not widgets that takeaway traffic. It is common sense really.

I would be happy to clear up any confusion you may have...josh at intensedebate dot com

Although they appear to be in "private beta", anyone can sign-up for an account.

If you click around the sample on Fred Wilsons' page you'll figure out how.
