In the process of disentangling connected accounts from the birdsite, stumbled on #IntenseDebate. I'm not sure I've seen a site using them for comments in years.

And considering that the list-your-other-social-sites-on-your-profile still has spots for Digg, FriendFeed, MyBlogLog, and Orkut, I have to wonder...is Automattic doing anything with it other than keeping the lights on?
