The Intensedebate application, which is quit simple to use, is shares some simliar functionality with ComLuv, a wordpress plugin ideal for blog networking.

I'll try to explain a little about Intensedebate.

First you sign up for an account at http://intensedebate.com

You will have two options to choose from;

a) if your blog is a hosted blog, meaning it is on the blogger or wordpress server

b) if your blog is self hosted, meaning your blog is installed on your own domain.

If you have a hosted blog when signing up all you have to do is enter the url into the sign up and it will now be associated with Intensedebate.

If you have a self hosted blog you will simply downdload and install the plugin on your site. If you use Wordpress you will upload it to your plugins folder and then active if from your dashbord.


IntenseDebate offers some really great features:

Comment Threading
Improve the conversation within the comment section and reply directly to an individual comment. Indented replies make following various conversations manageable.

Reply-By-Email
Respond to and moderate comments with ease via email, even if you're on the go. Just because you're away from your computer doesn't mean the conversation stops.
