Disqus and IntenseDebate added to MyBlogLog’s lifestream

Last week we posted here that MyBlogLog added a place in the Profile to include Disqus and IntenseDebate. Today we've turned on our extractors so that comments you make on either service will make their way into your New with Me lifestream. This will supplement the MyBlogLog comments you leave on MyBlogLog-enabled sites today that are already part of your lifestream if you've "enabled" it on the Services tab in your Profile.

Both services are growing like weeds as they each offer advantages over plain old comment systems that come bundled with your blogging platform.

centralized comments across multiple blogs so they are better equipped to tackle spam proactively across the community, removing the need for you to actively moderate spam on your own.
reputation ranking and threaded commenting so your readers can better filter and follow conversations.
hosted comments so that if you ever change domain urls or (*eek*) lose your comments, there's easy recovery

If you don't have a profile on these services, sign up today and add your profile ID to MyBlogLog. If you run a blog, be sure to check out Intense Debate and Disqus and add either one to your site today.

Todd is running Disqus on toddsampson.com and I'm running Intense Debate on everwas.com so you can see them in action. We'll be adding Intense Debate to the MyBlogLog blog shortly as a favor to Todd's TechStars connection but check out each one and choose your favorite.
