Intense Debate Adds Twitter Integration

Posted by John Saddington on Jul 7, 2009

IntenseDebate, my favorite 3rd-party commenting system ever, added Twitter-integration a few days ago and so far tests look great.

If you’ve already tried it out I’d love to know your thoughts, and if you haven’t… well… try it out!

IntenseDebate, in my opinion, is fast becoming more than just a service; it’s becoming a platform. Oh, the “sky is the limit” here boys and girls!

Do it!

    Hmmm
    -do you get reputation points by connecting w/ Twitter?
    -does it assume that you want to tweet the comment too?

    But I love me some intensedebate.

      After logging in with my Twitter account, it would appear the answer to your first question is No.

    I had to ditch the good ole' boys at IntenseDebate a long time ago … my comments weren't syncing, and they finally conceded there wasn't much they could do about it. A few searches in the GetSatisfaction forums, and it was apparent that this affected a lot more people than just me … so I didn't feel so bad.

    It was too bad – I think the plugin did bring value and increase the conversation … but I couldn't entrust those conversations to a platform that for whatever reason, wouldn't behave w/ our servers (and apparently, the servers of plenty of other folks).

    Wish them the best.

      hmm after the settings get straightened out, it runs like a dream. But agreed, it took me a couple tries to nail it down.

    This is amazing! You know what I really thought intense debate is not blogspot bloggers like mine but when I checked it out, it worked! It just that blogger doesn't support it yet (literally) but the intense debate is saying they're under negotiation.

    As for twitter, how do i integrate it? let me check my admin options.:)
