Hoy me llego un mail de los chicos de Intense Debate, comunicándome que habían sido comprado por Automattic (la empresa que desarrolla Wordpress).

Intense Debate es un sistema de comentarios, que tiene muchas ventajas respecto a muchos de los predeterminados de los CMS, como por ejemplo:

• Comentarios mas ordenados: Con la opción de responder a los comentarios, las conversaciones quedan mejor ordenadas.
• Contestar por e-mail los comentarios
  
• Exportar-Importar: De un blog a otro o para hacer un back-ups de los comentarios.

¿Que significa que Automattic compre Intense Debate? Pues que va a tener muchas mas integración con otros productos de Automattic, como Gravatar, Akismet y el mas conocido, Wordpress. Sin embargo, seguiran ofreciendo su sistema de comentarios para otros CMS como Blogger o Typepad.

El que quiera leer el e-mail completo, y sepa inglés, se los dejo acá:
