Kristen,

As Jitendra has pointed out they are a key partner of ours and are in no way a competitor. Our platform is about playing 'connect-the-dots' so we bring all the fragmented services together, Sezwho are one of the big players in the commenting space and we are happy to be working with them to make sure that anyone using their services continues to get the benefit of receiving comments from our platform.

Facey, if you sent a comment that did not get sent, it probably meant that the blog was most likely using a custom commenting platform which we do not 'yet' support (the interface makes it clear which blogs we support or do not)

Phil W, people do not need to be using our API to receive or for us to aggregate comments, our API is designed

I think the blog you comment has to be using the fav.or.it API in order to receive the comments.

Some days ago I was thinking if it was the case of adding Disqus to my blog. However I was really in doubt because the comments would have been stored in a different database than that my blog was built on... I was also wondering if one day I decided to move it to a different location through the WP-export function, I could still keep the correspondence among posts and related comments...

This SezWho seems to solve these problems... but there still is an other one: Disqus, fov.or.it, SezWho, they all give cross-blog portability of comment shaped identities, but who will give us portability across these three platforms?

And what about linking this with OpenID?

I am not talking about the possibility of logging in to Disqus or fav.or.it or SezWho with an OpenID, what I am thinking about is to add to the OpenID "protocol" the possibility to aggregate in just one page all our activities acted by the way of that ID (or still better to customize which kind of activities will be shown).

Maybe these functionalities are already implemented by some service I do not know

Um, I've tested Fav.or.it a bunch and the comments never go back to the blog articles. What's up with that?

Nicole,

Thanks for the post.

We are moving in the direction of opening up our reputation framework to all social platforms with the launch of the developer kit.

Favor.it is actually a company we work...With SezWho service the content stays at the publisher sites so there are no tricky SEO/content ownership issues. As such the idea behind the developer program is to open up the APIs so that all social platforms like wikis, forums, social bookmarking sites etc. can better engage the communities by using reputation and context tools.

Thanks, Jitendra
