IntenseDebate is Now a Part of Automattic
Posted on 27. Sep, 2008 by Artur Kim in WordPress
Automattic, the company behind WordPress, has acquired IntenseDebate for an undisclosed amount. Before this news, I had never heard of IntenseDebate before. So, I went to their website and found out that “IntenseDebate is a comment system that enhances and encourages discussion on your blog or website.” Some of the features are threading, reply-by-email, reputation points, and voting. Check their comment system in action!
According to Matt, founding developer of WordPress, the features will be integrated into WordPress core, WordPress.com, and Gravatar as appropriate. I’m definitely excited for this and I’m looking forward to WordPress 2.7.
