Automattic Acquired IntenseDebate’s Enhanced Comment System
According to this news, as well as this one and this blog post at IntenseDebate, Automattic has aquired the enhanced comment system of IntenseDebate. The coming WordPress 2.7 will include some of IntenseDebate’s features by default, including threaded commenting.
IntenseDebate originally launched to the public last October, sporting features including OpenID support, user profiles, and the ability to track a user’s comments across multiple blogs.
This will probably be the end of my plugin, iF AJAX Comment for WordPress. I already had a feeling that this could happen, I commented about it. When WordPress 2.7 is out, we’ll see what’s still missing.
