Comment Portability: The Commenting Standard of the Future

Disqus, IntenseDebate, and SezWho.  3 commenting systems that currently don’t work together, but here’s how they could.

 

I think it’s possible for the services to come together and develop a standard for commenting systems (as suggested by Dave Stanley of Shyftr).  This standard would provide a framework for updating comments across the blog, commenting systems, and third-party services (like FriendFeed or Shyftr).

Of course this also requires input and cooperation from these third-party services for this to really work.   The ultimate goal: distributed conversations with aggregated discussions.

What future implications do you think this will have on how you blog and participate in discussions?

    Good idea, having three different commenting profiles is just ridiculous. On the other hand it keeps certain companies from owning all the comments on the internet...

    I think each service has its strengths, but yes there are a lot of similar features.
