I see JSkit, not very well-known in comparison with the other two, disqus and intensedebate, have to try it out.

for Intensedebate, I dont recommend it, because the feature of synchronizing with blogger is not available, so when uninstall happened, all commends are gone.

This is good info to know. I really thought (up to this point) that “commenting is commenting” and I hadn’t thought about (or known about) all the different issues (and tools available).

I have tried Disqus, but after I installed updates to Blogger Disqus functions were affected. I tried to re-install but to no avail. I will try Intense Debate this time & see how I get on.

I'm using DISQUS on my other blog. It's great but I found out that if you uninstall it, you 'll lose the threaded comments when it reverts back to the old WordPress commenting system

I think what works for blogger, also works on wordpress, these commenting systems work for both the blog platforms.

For blogger, js-kit is working fine, but it surely needs a name-email type of input.

I think IntenseDebate suitably best for blogger platform and Disqus..For Worpdress, Diqus is best and then IntenseDebate.

I DON'T LIKE jS-kIT COMMENTING SYSTEM MUCH AS THEIR CURRENT FUNCTIONALITY IS NOT SO GOOD..(OOPS GOT MY CAPS LOCK BUTTON ON)

@Brad Farless: I agree js-kit is not customizable and other commenting systems don't have options to import and export comments which is a major requirement. I think a lot of features have been rolled out and i too expect to revamp the commenting system along with other major features such as gravatar support and spam filters

JS-Kit is too complicated to customize. With the new JS-Kit Echo you can't even move the comment form to be above the other comments. It's not supported. I used to use Disqus, but then wanted to get rid of it because I didn't like how my site's comments were aggregated elsewhere. I just wanted my comments to be on my site. Then I realized there was no way to export them and import them into Blogger's native system. So, now I just use the native system and hope they get their heads out of their butts. So far they've been adding features that no one really needs and claiming it's what people asked for in the Product Suggestions.

@Kaushik: My comments are not threaded, i've just changed the layout a bit to highlight my comments

How did you make your comments threaded using the default comment system?? Tell us how.

@Extreme John: I agree they need a lot of improvement in terms of exporting and importing and loading issues but in blogger there are no gravatars and these have so these can be used for blogger. Among these disqus is the most used one.

I have tested all of the systems above with the exception of Intense Debate, so far I really can't say I like any of them. I think they have a lot of room for improvement before I can settle in with one of them, and it just took JSkit 4 days to get my database moved over. Ridiculous.

Ya intense debate looks good and plus the rating options are also great additions

Well according to me intense debate is amongst the best which blogger platform users must choose. Disqus is currently popular only for wordpress blogs. I hardly see blogger platform blogs using it.

And JS-kit is comparatively new and does need a lot of development specially in the design side..It looks very bad. I have tested it.

Tried JSKit and IntenseDebate before and stay on Disqus now.
